Deck overview

This Grixis deck, helmed by Obeka, Brute Chronologist, is a high-concept build that exploits "lose the game" triggers and extra-turn spells by ending the turn before the penalties resolve. Obeka's activated ability exiles all spells and abilities on the stack, turning cards like Final Fortune and Demonic Pact into pure upside. The deck also includes chaos effects (Scrambleverse, Thieves' Auction, Warp World) to disrupt opponents, backed by value creatures such as Notion Thief and Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer. Primary win conditions involve assembling multiple extra turns to attack with evasive threats (Phage the Untouchable, Leveler, Eater of Days) or using Worldfire after a setup to leave opponents at 1 life. The strategy is fragile, highly dependent on Obeka, and relies on resolving its key enchantments/artifacts before opponents can answer them.
