This was one of the first EDH decks I ever built, inspired by countless other Xenagos EDH lists. It focuses on casting Xenagos as quickly as possible, then bringing out giant creatures. In the early game, you'll want to ramp into casting Xenagos on turn 3 or 4. On the following turns, you can focus on doubling fodder. Once you have your commander in play with a big beater, you can start swinging. Many of the creatures in this deck have trample, flying, or some other form of evasion, with the exceptions being the utility creatures and the ones that can easily become positively massive, like Realm Seekers and Malignus. Siege Behemoth, Forgestoker Dragon , Nylea, God of the Hunt, Skarrg, the Rage Pits, and Kessig Wolf Run make it easier for these big guys to connect. The deck also packs various removal options that can help clear the way, including Clan Defiance, Scour from Existence , Beast Within, and Chandra's Ignition, as well as many more!Extra combat phases and similar are also stellar with Xenagos, and the deck packs many cards that can end the game for one or more players if you can uncap with Xenagos and a creature in play. Armed / Dangerous , Inquisitor's Flail, Overwhelming Stampede, Pathbreaker Ibex, Mage Slayer , Relentless Assault, Sieze the Day, Strionic Resonator, and World at War all make it pretty difficult for someone to come back after a hit. I originally built this deck on a pretty strict budget, and have let it grow a little as time progressed. Most new additions were under $1, with few exceptions until I acquired the more expensive things. Thank you for viewing, and I hope you enjoy!
