Q&A

Why Dong Zhou?

Made this deck as a funny and stupid idea, but friends got me him for my birthday present.

Should I build Dong Zhou?

For your sanity, don't... Just don't... Otherwise, sure. He's a fun commander deck.

What are you doing with this deck?

Trying to punch your opponent with their own things. Tibalt, Rakish Instigator helps with them not gaining life with lifelink.

How do you find cards that work with the deck?

It takes hours of innovation and looking through the card database. After finding cards that would help the deck, it takes hours of matches to see if it is a good fit for the deck.

Primer

Gameplan

The gameplan for this deck is to know when to play Dong Zhou, the Tyrant and when to go through with another plan. The deck can take a while to get set up, but the other players would not focus on you that you do have enough time to set up until everyone else sets their eyes on you.

Cast the other of the 2 creatures and Birgi, God of Storytelling   would trigger again. Cloudstone Curio would trigger when the other creature ETB's and target the other of the 2 creatures. Rinse and repeat until you have enough mana to win the game.

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker

Zealous Conscripts

**Basic**

Have Combat Celebrant and Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker on the field.

**Advanced**

Attack with Combat Celebrant and exert him. Once the effect resolves, tap and activate Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker to copy Combat Celebrant . Rinse and Repeat.

Abusing Dong Zhou

To abuse Dong Zhou, the Tyrant , you would need to have a way to keep on recasting him. This is where the Cloudstone Curio combos come into play. With all of the ways to get the pieces into play, it would make the game plan of bouncing him back into hand easier.

Why are you running...?

-- Karn, the Great Creator : It's a great card and can help me stall out the game. It can also help me get back my artifact combo pieces from exile.

-- Goblin Matron : She helps me get all the goblins that I would need, like Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker .

-- Rite of Flame : It helps me get into a ritual chain and it can help me push myself into that extra mana that I need.

Why aren't you running...?

-- Blightsteel Colossus : It can get and will get cloggy whenever I would draw it, especially with how high the CMC is. I have thought about using it, but have not gotten the time to test it out.

Things to Note while Playing Dong Zhou

There are a couple to a few keywords that work with Dong Zhou's ability. One of the keywords is beneficial to Dong Zhou while the others are either neutral or negative to Dong Zhou.

The beneficial keyword to Dong Zhou is Infect. Infect does not care about whether it is combat damage or effect damage, so you can make your opponent's infect creature hit themselves and it would give them poison damage.

One of the negative keywords for Dong Zhou is Lifelink. Like Infect, Lifelink does not care about if it is combat damage or effect damage. So, unless you have Tibalt, Rakish Instigator or something similar, the opponent would just gain the damage back.
