Deck overview

This deck is a five-color combo-midrange build commanded by Kenrith, the Returned King. Its primary strategy focuses on producing infinite mana through Isochron Scepter imprinting Dramatic Reversal with nonland mana producers. Once infinite mana is online, Kenrith acts as an infinite outlet in the command zone, allowing you to draw your entire library and force all opponents to draw out their decks simultaneously on Turn 5. As a secondary win condition, the deck pairs Aggravated Assault with Sword of Feast and Famine for infinite combat steps, supported by high-power equipment like Colossus Hammer and Excalibur, Sword of Eden. A dense suite of tutors including Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, and Enlightened Tutor provides reliable access to combo pieces, while silence effects like Grand Abolisher, Silence, and Ranger-Captain of Eos safeguard the winning turn. However, the manabase suffers from ten tapped bounce lands, and the deck lacks instant-speed stack interaction outside of Deflecting Swat.
