High burst potential commanders/decks?

Commander Deck Help forum

I'm looking for deck to build to play in 4+ player games that can sit back and do very little, then win in 1 turn preferably. I have a Zegana deck that tends to come out of the gates early and paint a target on my back. It either wins turn 5 or gets hated out by everything else. I have a Baral deck as well. It sits back and doesn't do very much, but has very slow win-cons. Because of this I'm looking for something that can be passive, maybe throw out a couple of propaganda's early game, but can later close out a game very quickly.

Group hug into a combo win generally does pretty well for what you're after. Pillow fort up/run out cards like Selvala, Explorer Returned to give your opponents some value and then Tooth and Nail into a combo win con.

Pillow fort early with Queen Marchesa and get some card advantage. Then use that late game to get your win-con together and close the game out?

Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge can take a bunch of turns in a row to win games out of nowhere if you build your deck that way. Or any grixis commander can just have the Kiki/Splinter twin combos everywhere and black tutors to find the pieces if you want to go that route.

Nekusar, the Mindrazer

The owner of my LGS has a Nekusar deck that he pulls out when he's really tired and takes naps in between his turns.

You may like a stax deck. Take a look at some lists for Derevi, Empyrial Tactician, Brago, King Eternal,Grand Arbiter Augustin IV, or Gaddock Teeg.
