EDH. ATLA experimental Ally bending list. Work in progress as new cards are spoiled.


Goal:

Aang in Avatar State

Abuse Avatar Aang's draw power via repeated bending triggers to draw key cards, achieve Aang transformation each turn, cast your hand for free, and, ultimately, burn down opponents with Aang's ability.


Extra Bending Triggers

To repeat Aang's draw/burn triggers and other bending abilities use cards that double triggers likes katara, the Fearless, Roaming Throne, Annie Joins Up, Isshin, Two Heavens as One, or Windcrag Siege.


Bending Shenanigans

Firebend - Use the mana produced from firebending triggers for later use by storing them in Gemstone Array, Horizon Stone, and Kruphix, God of Horizons or channeling it into Waterbending abilities or other payoffs like Walking Ballista. As an added bonus, you can use your Firebend mana to help pay the costs to cast spells instant-speed thanks to Leyline of Anticipation, Vedalken Orrery, or Emergence Zone.

Waterbend - Reduce the cost of waterbending abilities with Training Grounds, Zirda, the Dawnwaker, and/or firebending mana.

Earthbend - Cast cards with recurring Earthbending abilities like Toph, the First Metalbender and Haru, Hidden Talent to create a small army of earthbended land creatures or to recur land abilities like Command Beacon, Ominous Cemetery or Ally Encampment.

Airbend - Card pool for Airbending is limited. The only cards are ETB triggers. If no card is released to recur airbending each turn easily, I will add cards with blink abilities like Thassa, Deep-Dwelling, Emiel the Blessed, or Eldrazi Displacer. Once I can recur airbending each turn, I would like to use it as protection to recast creatures that are about to die or trigger ETB abilities. As another added bonus, you can use your Firebend mana or other mana to help pay the Airbend exile costs to cast spells instant-speed thanks again to Leyline of Anticipation, Vedalken Orrery or Emergence Zone.


Wincons

Primary - Burn down opponents with Aang, Master of Elements  ' upkeep ability, Walking Ballista, and Words of War amplified by Fated Firepower and Fiery Emancipation.

Secondary - Aggro with Coat of Arms, Fire Lord Zuko, General Tazri, and Resolute Blademaster. You can also synergize with Bumi, Eclectic Earthbender, Ashaya, Soul of the Wild and any double-trigger permanent to add lethal amounts of +1/+1 counters on all your creatures.

Tertiary - Combo off with Maskwood Nexus and The World Tree's tutor ability to place all your creatures from your library into the battlefield.
