Ob Nixilis CEDH by AceSouza

Format: Commander

Commander: Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin

Bracket: 5

Deck overview

This Rakdos turbo combo deck uses Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin as an impulse-draw engine and life-loss multiplier. Whenever an opponent loses exactly one life from pingers like Orcish Bowmasters, Kessig Flamebreather, or Razorkin Needlehead, Ob Nixilis grows and exiles cards for you to play. The primary plan leverages explosive fast mana and tutors to assemble the Underworld Breach, Grinding Station, and Lion's Eye Diamond loop to storm through the library into a lethal finish. Alternatively, you can assemble infinite damage loops with Agatha's Soul Cauldron and Walking Ballista or establish lethal storm chains with Sensei's Divining Top and Birgi, God of Storytelling.
