Format: Commander

Commander: Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a lands-only Simic deck. Arixmethes is never meant to wake up: the list contains no nonland spells, so its slumber counters can never be removed-it plays as a tapped {G}{U} land. The primary plan is to use land tutors (Urza's Cave, Tolaria West) and Maze's End's own search to assemble ten differently named Gate lands, then activate Maze's End for the win. Secondary plans are creature lands, Field of the Dead zombies, Dark Depths + Thespian's Stage, and Inkmoth Nexus poison. The commander is a mana source, not a win condition; there is no hidden commander.
