Crystal Mana Sinks by Toptomcat

Format: Commander

Commander: Crystal, Inhuman Princess

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck is a four-color enchantment value engine helmed by Crystal, Inhuman Princess, a flying commander that deals damage each time you cast a noncreature spell and can tap for any of four colors. The primary strategy is to generate abundant mana through auras, lands, and artifacts, then sink that mana into leveling up Class enchantments. Classes provide a toolbox of effects: token generation, +1/+1 counters, card draw, ramp, cost reduction, and combat benefits. The win condition is a board of counter-boosted creature tokens-from Fisher's Talent's Octopus tokens to Stormchaser's Talent's Otters-combined with incremental damage from Crystal's trigger and from Class pings like Alchemist's Talent level 3. The deck plays a slow, grinding game, accumulating value turn after turn until it can overwhelm opponents with a wide, tall board.
