The Phoenix King by B4J1-Thunderobot

Format: Commander

Commander: Ozai, the Phoenix King

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Ozai is not a normal beatdown commander: the deck treats his firebending 4 as a built-in mana battery, using his replacement effect to stockpile red mana across turns. The primary plan is to reach six mana, cast Ozai, attack with haste to bank 4 red per turn, then cash out with Torment of Hailfire at X=14 or a copied Crackle with Power. Secondary paths are a treasure-token hoard into Hellkite Tyrant or Knuckles, and a red-zone plan where Sozin's Comet and Fated Firepower multiply firebending/damage. Avatar Roku (back of The Legend of Roku) is the deck's hidden commander: the front saga's impulse draw feeds the same red-mana plan, and Ifrit's red bursts reinforce it.
