Your deck? No. Our deck! :D

I got my hands on the Exit From Exile commander deck and found that I liked the exile strategy with red green but both of the commander options left much to be desired. When I saw Etali, Primal Conqueror   I knew this would be a better commander for an exile strategy. I just needed a way to trigger his ETB as many times as possible. Etali also has the obviously overpowered transform Etali, Primal Sickness   which can one shot anyone. Ill be using this as a back up strategy since I expect people to kill Etali as soon as it is summoned to prevent it from transforming.

Ive put in tons of mana ramp so you can summon him fast, as well as summon him as many times as possible, should he keep being killed. Using any of the following, create a copy of Etali, Primal Conqueror  . The copy will have its ETB trigger but then be killed by the legendary rule.

Conjurer's Closet Orthion, Hero of Lavabrink Delina, Wild Mage Mirage Phalanx Flameshadow Conjuring Panharmonicon Flamerush Rider Helm of the Host Lithoform Engine Strionic Resonator Sword of Hearth and Home Splinter Twin Mirror March Blade of Selves

If you can use a card like Mirror Box to keep the copies for a battle phase but since most of these copy effects are only for 1 turn this card is ultimately not necessary and so I decided not to include it. Nalfeshnee can also give you a bit extra advantage.

Hellkite Courser will allow you to trigger the commanders ETB once without increasing the commander cost. You can also use things likeTemur Sabertooth, Sanctum of Eternity and Command Beacon I just dont own them otherwise I would be using them.

Xenagos, God of Revels and Zopandrel, Hunger Dominus are here for the back up strategy. makes it easier to one shot with Etali, Primal Sickness  .

Blade of Selves is one of the stars of this deck. It allows for multiple ETB triggers every time you attack with Etali, Primal Conqueror  . If you do include Mirror Box in the deck attacking with Etali, Primal Sickness   + Mirror Box + Etali, Primal Conqueror   is an auto win if your commander is not blocked. You can also guarantee a 3 player kill if you use Xenagos, God of Revels or Zopandrel, Hunger Dominus with it as well.

Dont focus on the transformed Etali, Primal Sickness  . Its fine if you get it off but not the main strategy. Cast Etali as much as possible and steal all your opponents stuff. Then just beat them down with advantage. With a bit of luck it will keep them occupied while you prepare to transform Etali for a one shot if needed.
