This is one of my decks from my first 2 attempts at home brewing Commander Decks. This is my attempt at an Aristocrats Token/Combo Deck.

I started out using only cards I owned, so I could start playing straight away, and followed a standard template which were on a few Commander Deck construction guides and also used the feel of a retail precon deck. From there I have slowly modified it over time with suggest/recommended cards and newer cards I felt fit in.

I am quite happy with how it's progressed to what it is now, especially that has several options available to win


Win Cons:


No. 1: Nevinyrral, Urborg Tyrant + Phyrexian Altar

Prerequisites: Nevinyrral + 5-8 Zombie tokens or sacrificial creatures + 5-0 floated Mana. 5 Zombies = 5 Mana 6 Zombies = 3 Mana 7 Zombies = 1 Mana 8 Zombies = 0 Mana

How it works: 1. Sacrifice 5-7 tokens/creatures & Nevinyrral to Phyrexian Altar. You don’t want to activate Nevinyrral’s board wipe. Generate Esper Mana + 2 for Commander Tax

  1. Replay Nevinyrral. This should generate 6-9 Zombie Tokens

  2. Repeat step 1 again + extra mana/zombies for Commander Tax. This should start compounding eg:

    • Sacrifice Nevinyrral + 5 zombies = 6 Mana + 2 Floating for:
    • 1st Recast of Nevinyrral (CMC 8). 6 Zombies are made on etb.
    • Sacrifice Nevinyrral + 6 zombies = 7 Mana + 3 Floating for:
    • 2nd Recast of Nevinyrral (CMC 10). 13 Zombies are made on etb.
    • 3rd Recast will make 27 Zombies; Then on successive recasts 55, 111, 223, 447, etc

Result: Infinite mana. Infinite Zombies. Add in any of the pingers to drain life of opponents.


No. 2: Nevinyrral, Urborg Tyrant + Recursion

Prerequisites: Nevinyrral on the battlefield + Recursion card in hand.

Bit of a slow one. Put a recursion on Nevinyrral to bring him back to the battlefield with zombies. Preferably done on an opponents turn, so you can untap the tokens on your turn. Dramatic Reversal might be good on this.


No. 3: Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar .

Prerequisites: A zombie card in a graveyard and a pinger on the battlefield.

An easy one - keep on sacrificing Gravecrawler to Phyrexian Altar and use the 1 Black mana to recast Gravecrawler. Repeat until all opponents are dead.
