Absolute Chaos by DiarrheaTsunami

Format: Commander

Commander: Kenrith, the Returned King

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This five-color Kenrith build is a value/control list that wins by amassing and then stealing tokens and permanents. Kenrith, the Returned King acts as a mana sink, supplying repeatable card draw, haste/trample, +1/+1 counters, and reanimation. The hidden commander is Esika, God of the Tree // The Prismatic Bridge; while Esika is in the 99, its Bridge face gives the deck a free creature/planeswalker every upkeep once assembled. Secondary paths use Adrix and Nev to double token production, Smothering Tithe plus Gleaming Splendor to generate treasure mana, and a dense steal/exchange-control package to turn opponents' permanents into attackers. The deck has no infinite combo or direct non-combat finisher, so it generally closes through repeated trampling attacks powered by Kenrith.
