Genesis of the Armada by Sketchykirby

Format: Commander

Commander: Shorikai, Genesis Engine

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Shorikai, Genesis Engine is a UW token-control deck that uses Shorikai as a repeatable draw engine and Pilot factory. The primary plan is to grind card advantage, double tokens with Anointed Procession, Mondrak, Bard King of Dale and Divine Visitation, and win by overwhelming combat with flying tokens, Ancient Gold Dragon, or a large Finale of Glory. The secondary path is infinite mana from Isochron Scepter imprinting Dramatic Reversal, which turns Shorikai into a deck-drawing outlet for infinite tokens. Mondrak and Anointed Procession act as hidden commanders; the deck functions as a token doubler deck even without Shorikai.
