So it's apparent that we want to target Blanka and storm off. So for spells that target we got: - 7 cantrips - 7 protection spells (with Asceticism and Swiftfoot Boots on the side) - - Buff spells like granting double strike, extra combat? - 5 Fight Spells - Other various spells, aura's, etc... equaling 34 cards that directly target Blanka.

But that's 34 cards that really can't be played until his highness hits the field. The decks early game consists of: - 3 spells that can be played on turn 1 - 12 spells that can be played on turn 2 - 3 spells plus 2 land abilities that can be used on turn 3, and - 2 spells plus 1 land ability that can be used on turn 4

We're at 54 cards so far.

1.32 lands (2 tapped, 4 that could come in tapped~~~2 more if were counting Spire Garden and Stomping Ground) 2.4 MDFC Spells 3.14 other cards dedicated to mana acceleration.

Adding in the lands, and MDFC spells (Khalni Ambush   already being accounted for}

We're at 89 cards.

The remaining 11, include massive card draw, 3 lowly staple removal cards, and other synergy. The big wincons are: 1.Past in Flames 2.Mizzix's Mastery 3.Chandra's Ignition 4.Seize the Day

The first two, if played late game, will translate into an impressive amount of damage in one turn, perhaps resolving a massive card draw spell along the way. The latter two can pull off massive damage if Blanka's pumped enough. I do NOT want to play grafted exoskelton. Paints an even bigger target on Blankas head. This is a voltron strategy, and over a 3rd of my deck is pretty helpless if I don't have my commander out and about. I'm opting out with damage accelerators, but I could be negotiated on putting something like Fiery Emancipation back in.

All in all, Blanka is his own wincon.

Other stats: 1.15 Removal cards 2.15 Card draw effects, excluding cantrips (Gotta reload that hand)

Help me squeeze in gut shot, snakeskin veil, and for flavor, SAVAGE PUNCH!

Any other suggestions, equally appreciated.
