All Will Be One! This is a Big Mana deck designed to trigger massive synergies and finish the game in spectacular ways. Whether you choose to win through flavor with Coalition Victory, control the board by Uniting the Coalition, or summon the Praetors straight from the Multiverse, victory is inevitable and fun!

The Core Signature: Let's Begin the Invasion!

As the very name of the deck suggests, Begin the Invasion is our ultimate power play. Fueled by the massive colored mana pool stored by Omnath, we can cast this spell for a huge X value, searching our library to dump multiple Battles directly onto the battlefield at once. This single spell creates an overwhelming wave of enter-the-battlefield triggers that completely reshapes the game in our favor—especially if Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines is on the field to double all those triggers, or if All Will Be One is active to turn every single marker into a lethal damage machine to finish the game on the spot!

Key Interactions & Synergies:

All Will Be One + Battles: Pure passive damage as you advance your board. Realmbreaker, the Invasion Tree: Paired with our 10+ lands/mana rocks, it cheats out all the Praetors at once to dominate the table.

The Thief of Blood Tech: Cast Thief of Blood or Invasion of Ikoria to instantly flip all your Battles on the spot by removing their defense counters!

The Value Blink Engine: Displacer Kitten, Brago, King Eternal, or The Mind Stone, combined with Atraxa, Grand Unifier, Etali, Primal Conqueror, Aurora Awakener (which dumps tons of battles onto the battlefield), all our Battles (especially Invasion of Alara for the Displacer Kitten), and various other creatures in the deck creates an unstoppable chain of triggers.

The Flavor Finale: Achieve victory your way! You can unite the resistance with Unite the Coalition to assemble a defensive Coalition Victory. Or, embrace Phyrexia's corruption alongside Omnath—unleash Realmbreaker, the Invasion Tree to bring out your Praetors, and cast a massive Begin the Invasion to completely flood the battlefield with Battles.

Omnath's Engine: Our commander ensures we never run out of gas, storing multicolored mana to help us cast multiple high-cost spells and sweepers in a single turn.

Choose your team—whether you stand with the Coalition or trigger the Phyrexian Invasion, a fun and chaotic game is guaranteed!
