Kalamax, Storm V3 by Isanx

Format: Commander

Commander: Kalamax, the Stormsire

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Temur deck uses Kalamax, the Stormsire as a copy engine. You tap Kalamax with Holdout Settlement, Survivors' Encampment, Springleaf Drum or Paradise Mantle, then cast your first instant each turn to copy it and put a +1/+1 counter on Kalamax. The main win is the Expansion // Explosion loop that copies itself infinitely for infinite counters and magecraft triggers, finished with Guttersnipe, Fiery Inscription, Vivi Ornitier or Chandra's Ignition / Soul's Fire. Backup wins come from token makers like Young Pyromancer, Talrand and Shark Typhoon and burn payoffs. Veyran, Voice of Duality acts as a hidden commander that doubles Kalamax and magecraft triggers.
