Give And Take Zidane! by Adalae

Format: Commander

Commander: Zidane, Tantalus Thief

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Boros theft-and-blink value deck helmed by Zidane, Tantalus Thief. The core plan leverages permanents you deliberately hand to opponents-Humble Defector, Yes Man, Personal Securitron, Kharn the Betrayer, Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos, Bazaar Trader-to mint Treasures off Zidane's second ability while re-stealing threats with his ETB and a dense flicker suite. Panharmonicon, Delney, Streetwise Lookout, and end-step blink engines multiply those triggers. Primary wins are creature-based infinite combos (Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker lines), a sudden Insurrection or Call for Aid swing, and Hellkite Tyrant's twenty-artifact alternate win fueled by Xorn-boosted Treasures. The deck plays as interactive midrange that converts politics and temporary theft into explosive turns rather than a pure Voltron or stax list.
