Commander: Eshki, Temur's Roar

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Temur "power matters" build is helmed by Eshki, Temur's Roar, a 2/2 that grows with +1/+1 counters each time you cast a creature and draws cards off power-4-plus creatures while dealing cumulative damage to all opponents off power-6-plus creatures. The primary game plan is to accelerate mana via ramp spells and dorks (Birds of Paradise, Nature's Lore, Selvala, Heart of the Wilds) to deploy a steady stream of high-power threats such as Ghalta, Primal Hunger, Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger, and Koma, World-Eater. The deck piles on +1/+1-counter synergies (Hardened Scales, Branching Evolution, Kalonian Hydra) to make Eshki and other creatures enormous, then uses trample enablers (Garruk's Uprising, Uncivil Unrest) and extra-combat effects (Zanrag, the Quake-Mole) to close the game. Secondary wins come from Maelstrom Wanderer's cascade value and Koma's serpent token swarm.
