Enchantment (1)


Win Con:

Have Omnath, Locus of Mana + Pathbreaker Ibex out at the same time. Omnath has crazy power with all the mana generation in the deck and the ability to carry mana over. Combined with Pathbreaker Ibex you easily have 3 or 4 creatures each hitting lethal with trample and can kill multiple players.

To reach this goal there are many cards that can pull Ibex to the top of the library, or into your hand, or onto the battlefield, or out of the graveyard, the best of which is Finale of Devastation as you can dump your full mana pool into it (making sure X is greater than 10 to give Pathbreaker Haste) to reach power levels able to kill three players at once. Or if you are versus a creature or token swarm deck Defense of the Heart can give you a game ending combo of Pathbreaker Ibex + Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre very early. The rest of the cards are either about mana generation or being another heavy hitter to be part of the trample and to cast with the excessive amount of mana.

To Become Unstoppable:

It is very helpful to have set up Allosaurus Shepherd + Asceticism so your spells and creatures cannot be countered or targeted. Commander's Plate + Sword of Feast and Famine makes Omnath unblockable by all colors, in addition to Sword essentially doubling your mana per turn. If you don't draw Plate and Sword, there are multiple sources of Trample in the deck to ensure Omnath will get his commander damage through: Nylea, God of the Hunt, Overwhelming Stampede, Pathbreaker Ibex, Rancor.

Big Mana Cards:

Doubling Cube, Growing Rites of Itlimoc  , Karametra's Acolyte, Mana Reflection, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, Nyxbloom Ancient, Seedborn Muse, Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, Sword of Feast and Famine

There are many other cards that will generate extra mana that are strong but pale in comparison to the others so unless you are massively unlucky on land draws at the start and cannot get anything going, mana should never be an issue.

Other Cards to Consider:

Infect paired with Pathbreaker Ibex is very powerful so Blightsteel Colossus, and Grafted Exoskeleton raise the kill potential even higher. Tossing in Surestrike Trident works well with the Seeker of Skybreak already in the deck, allowing you to nuke multiple players before your attack phase. With the ample amount of mana you will have any large cost creatures like Eldrazi would be great as Annihilator is such a powerful mechanic. If you play against land destroyers Azusa, Lost but Seeking, Crucible of Worlds, and Oracle of Mul Daya would help recover. There is no flying or reach in the deck so Crossbow Ambush can be a useful situational card, as can Compost vs black recursion decks.

How to Win on Turn 4:

Just get Finale of Devastation out at X >= 10

A Possible Turn Order:

  1. Forest, Sol Ring, Emerald Medallion
  2. Forest, Utopia Sprawl, Allosaurus Shepherd, Beast Whisperer
  3. Nykthos Shrine to Nyx, Karametra's Acolyte, Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Elvish Mystic
  4. Finale of Devastation x=19, Pathbreaker Ibex, swing with 4 creatures each at +41/+41 with trample

Can't be countered after Allosaurus Shepherd. If someone removes growing rites before it changes then creatures are just +37/+37
