Commander / EDH Aggro Casual Combo Tokens UR (Izzet) Voltron

Vadrok Mutate voltron? Yes, I know there are a variety of spellslinger combos out there for Vadrok, but my brain is a bit smoother. I simply like to turn beefy creatures and hella token creatures sideways yfm?

How does this deck want to win? We have routes to go either

A) Commander Voltron damage, and swinging with tokens for backup or

B) Popping off a combo.

As with some other combat-based Vadrok decks, I want to Mutate onto some cool host creatures.

  • Brightling A decent selection of options including Vigilance, Lifelink, flexible offensive & defensive pumping, but most importantly can protect itself by recalling to hand.
  • Chasm Skulker There are various drawing effects in this deck giving Skulker plenty of opportunities to grow bigger. Eventually, the table will be forced to kill it (no exile pls), and create an army of squidlings.
  • Geist of Saint Traft One of my favorite cards. Built in Hexproof is great, and the Angel token on swings is a cherry on top.
  • Glitterfang Haste? Great. One mana? Hell yeah. Recurs itself to generate more mutate value? I like that a lot.
  • Guttersnipe Not a primary host target, but the ability is nice
  • Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin Grows with counters and pumps out tokens
  • Leonin Warleader Make some Lifelink cats on each swing
  • Malignus Gotta punish those lifegain strats for gaining so much life. Add in a Unleash Fury or Duelist's Heritage, and Baby you got a stew cookin
  • Markov Blademaster Built in growth and double strike
  • Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion
  • Talrand, Sky Summoner Lets make some flying tokens

I originally had more mutants in the deck, but decided to cut back to the ones that I thought had the ability to 1) Pump my team and/or 2) could also be recurred with Sun Titan if possible.

The two primary pieces are Dockside Extortionist and Snap. Mutate Vadrok or Lore Drakkis onto Dockside with (hopefully) 6+ enchantments and artifacts around the table, then cast Snap. This can generate infinite treasures, ETB/LTB triggers, non-creature spell casting triggers, & cast from graveyard triggers. Additional pieces for variety:

  • Comet Storm Loop for infinite mana to dump into the X & multi-kicker

  • Impact Tremors Burn the table with the infinite ETBs

  • Jeskai Ascendancy I infinitely recast Snap and Dockside/Drakkis or Vadrok Stack, and infinitely pump a board state of tokens. The additional text to optionally loot creates another avenue for Laboratory Maniac type shenangians.

  • Talrand, Sky Summoner The recast loop will make an arbitrary number of Drake tokens. Could be pulled off on the endstep before my turn to have non-summoning sick Drakes.

To give credit where credit is due, these are the decks that I used as primers/inspiration for my building process.
