Format: Commander

Commander: Crystal, Inhuman Princess

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a four-color (WURG) spellslinger/value deck helmed by Crystal, Inhuman Princess, built around casting a high volume of noncreature spells to trigger a web of payoffs. Crystal herself pings each opponent for X damage per spell, where X is the spell's color count, and that burn is multiplied by Fiery Emancipation, doubled by Annie Joins Up, and copied by Mister Fantastic. The deck layers redundant noncreature-spell engines - Whirlwind of Thought and Archmage Emeritus for draw, Kykar, Wind's Fury and Electro, Assaulting Battery for mana, Aragorn, the Uniter and Vivi Ornitier for additional burn - so the plan executes even if the commander is answered. Wins come primarily through commander burn amplified by damage multipliers, with combat (Kykar spirits, Aragorn tokens) as a secondary route.
