Commander: Shorikai, Genesis Engine

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Azorius control deck uses Shorikai, Genesis Engine as a durable card advantage engine that bypasses traditional creature and commander hate. The main game plan slows the table down with efficient stax pieces such as Rule of Law, Drannith Magistrate, and Cursed Totem while generating Pilot tokens and sculpting a winning hand. The primary win conditions consist of assembling infinite untaps via Isochron Scepter imprinting Dramatic Reversal, infinite colorless mana through Basalt Monolith with Rings of Brighthearth, or the Heliod, Sun-Crowned and Walking Ballista combo. Infinite mana and untaps draw the library using Shorikai to eliminate opponents with Walking Ballista or extort triggers.
