Maybeboard


In 2014 I bought a Commander 2013 5-pack. I played all the decks before taking them apart. Prossh was the only one I liked enough to put back together again.

Prossh is a pretty common commander. I don't think I do anything extremely unique with him, yet I love to play him anyway. There are many possible ways to win with this deck: ping engines, creature damage, general damage, board control; the only thing they all have in common is that they exploit the huge number of bodies this deck inevitably puts on the field. The thing I like most about Prossh is that I can easily employ all of these strategies at once, making it very difficult to defend against.

Token overrun - Overwhelm the opponent(s) with more tokens than they can block. Use anthem effects if possible. Strong against decks with few creatures, weak against pillow fort effects like Propaganda.
Voltron - Sacrifice all the tokens to Prossh and swing for the kill. Giving Prossh trample, un-blockable, and/or double-strike if possible. Strong against decks with weak fliers, weak against decks with instant speed removal.
Ping damage - Sacrifice tokens to Goblin Bombardment or another sac outlet to trigger dies effects. Strong against decks that prevent attacking, weak against decks with hexproof or shroud.

One of the most dangerous aspects of this deck is that board wipes and removal are practically useless against it. Any creature that is targeted for removal is simply sacrificed for some effect. Sending Prossh back to the command zone simply allows me to recast him for more mana, and with the amount of ramp in this deck that is almost entirely a benefit.

Note that I do not run Food Chain. I think this is a terrible no-fun combo, and I would never run it. Even if that weren't the case, I don't think I know anyone who would play against me if I did run it.
