Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Tap, Untap, Tap, Untap"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nHave you ever wanted to play a commander that is under appreciated but also puts the fear of God into your opponents? If yes, then this might be the deck for you. This deck looks to create a value engine by using several permanents, primarily creatures, to repeat effects from activated abilities. Repeatable effects in commander are already strong and whether or not it's removal, draw, or ramp; being able to repeat these effects not only every turn cycle, but rather multiple times a turn cycle can be back breaking. Depending on how the early game plays out, this deck can be pretty flexible by either ramping as quickly as possible to get to Progenitus faster or focus on the removal/draw route to make it into the long game. In both cases this is all for the greater purpose of playing Progenitus and finding one of the pieces that provide a one-shot kill with commander damage. As of the current build there is only one true combo piece which is Aggravated Assault. With any number of creatures that can tap provide 5 mana (specifically 2 needs to be red mana), then you have infinite combats and creature untaps. Additionally producing more than 5 mana with this combo provides infinite mana. As a final note, this deck can lead into some rather weird play patterns due to a majority of the deck being comprised of permanent spells that are sorcery speed but at the same time the activated abilities provide a lot of opportunity to interact on the stack. Once again, this is all for the greater purpose of knocking out players with one of the most iconic creature from Magic's history.\n\nStats (Updated January"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":" 2025"},{"insert":")"},{"attributes":{"header":3},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"2025:\tGames Won- 0\n\t\t\t\tGames Played- 0\n\t\t\t\tWin Percentage- 0%\n\t\t\t\tAvg.
