Yidris Living End

Commander / EDH

LabManiac_Sigi


Alright, Yidris Living End. This deck might seem a bit weird at first glance because it decidedly does not play some of the absolute Combo staples of cEDH (Mana Crypt, LED, Lotus Petal, Mox Diamond, Chrome Mox etc.), but it's all to serve one specific purpose: Comboing hard and fast.

Our main win condition works as follows:

  1. Put LabMan and Phyrexian Devourer into our Graveyard. We can do this via Buried Alive, Faithless Looting/Careful Study, or Hermit Druid.
  2. Attack with Yidris to get Cascade on all of our spells until EoT.
  3. Cast a 1-CMC spell, usually a Cantrip, to Cascade into Living End. Living End resolves, putting LabMan and Phyrexian Devourer onto the battlefield, we stack Devourer activations to exile our library, our Cantrip resolves, and we win.

Other than that, our "backup" plan is the traditional Doomsday piles as seen in decks like Jeleva or Zur. That being said, rather than a backup plan, it's more of an alternative plan depending on what our opening hand looks like. Furthermore, we have a decent amount of removal and interaction, which gives us good resilience.

The main concern with this type of deck is drawing the wrong cards at the wrong point. To help with that, we're running a bunch of card selection, tutors, Wheel effects, Regrowths, and even Scroll Rack alongside the usual Fetchland package to dig and shuffle.

Shoutout to my main men Dan and Simon who were patient enough to sit through a painfully long time of discussing and philosophising about different card choices.

This deck is running into more and more consistency issues as my playtesting continues. I've removed some of the more narrow Counterspells, which I hope won't come back to bite me. Also replaced REB with Pyroblast cause Pyroblast is another 1-CMC spell I can cast after swinging with Yidris. Hanweir Battlements is out cause even when having drawn it, I never ended up using the Haste effect. Gemstone Caverns gives us a potential free land, which is very important in a deck that doesn't have access to Crypt and the Moxen.

IN: Dark Confidant ,Gamble, Gemstone Caverns, Grim Tutor, Pyroblast, Yawgmoth's Will

OUT: Dispel, Hanweir Battlements, Memory's Journey, Mental Misstep, Red Elemental Blast, Regrowth
