Prossh, Skyraider of Kher Khombo

Commander / EDH* BRG (Jund)

This Prossh, Skyraider of Kher Deck is designed to combo off/win in the most hilarious way possible. Here is what the deck is meant to do:

Prossh combos with Food Chain, allowing the exile of the six Kobolds of Kher Keep that Prossh brings onto the battlefield (as well as Prossh himself) to allow the casting of Prossh an infinite number of times. You are left with an arbitrarily large number of Kobolds of Kher Keep tokens.

Then I load up all of those Kobolds into my trusty catapult courtesy of Goblin Bombardment, and I fling them at each of my opponents, burying them alive in a World War Z-style pile of Kobold bodies.

Plan B is to use the infinite mana combos of either Prossh + Phyrexian Altar and either Mana Echoes or Ashnod's Altar OR Mana Echoes + Sprout Swarm to make infinite mana, which I then distill into magical ammunition to load into my Rocket Launcher and shoot each opponent in the crotch for infinite damage.

There are of course other ways to win, and synergy for Prossh is key in the deck, with cards like Sadistic Glee and Grave Pact.

Early playtesting has proven that this guy is very powerful. This deck is very creature-light and is susceptible to tuck effects, but that's partly what the tutors are there for.

I have decided not to focus on token swarm in this deck, as that was what my old Ulasht, the Hate Seed deck aimed to do, and I'm looking for something different and faster here. The idea is to race to cast Prossh and use the Kobolds to leverage the board with cards like Attrition and Vicious Shadows. The large flying body coupled with threat amplifiers like Blade of the Bloodchief and Ogre Battledriver allow me to apply early, significant aggro pressure. Prossh is definitely a threat that needs to be dealt with right away, which is great because the deck's power level grows each time I cast him, and thus the power of the deck scales very well with how long the game goes on.

So far it has been my favorite EDH deck I have made so far. I can't wait until the card is released for real and to see all the new goodies that Commander 2013 has in store that could help the deck.
