---

This deck what I like to call "commander aggro". There are no shenanigans or subversion it is a basic "play creatures and turn them sideways" style of deck. This necessitates being aggressive with your plays but you should always be able to keep enough back to recover from board wipes

The deck is mostly focused around making the most of Xenagos' ability. As such there are x/1s such as Regathan Firecat because while a 4/1 for 3 is perfectly meh, an 8/5 for 3 is great.

Heroes' Bane is a nice synergy with Xenagos because you can pump him after the Start of Combat Phase allowing you to use Heroes' Bane 's ability to permanently triple its power instead of double (4 power to 8 via Xenagos, add 8 counters via Heroes' Bane making it 12/12 after the end of turn).
