Double or Nothing by Aibohphobia314

Format: Commander

Commander: Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might // Temple of Power

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a mono-red burn deck built around Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might as a force multiplier. The core plan is to flood the battlefield with cheap pinging creatures-Firebrand Archer, Kessig Flamebreather, Thermo-Alchemist, Coruscation Mage, Unruly Catapult-and then cast a cascade of low-cost instants and sorceries. Each small ping that would normally deal 1-3 damage instead becomes 4 damage thanks to Ojer Axonil's replacement effect. The deck also packs damage amplifiers like Solphim, Mayhem Dominus and Fiery Emancipation to push that damage even higher. Mana generation comes from rituals (Pyretic Ritual, Desperate Ritual), Birgi, God of Storytelling, Neheb, the Eternal, and Storm-Kiln Artist to fuel long chains of spells. Card advantage is provided by exile-draw effects (Outpost Siege, Virtue of Courage, Light Up the Stage) and the cycling of Arcane spells. The only real win condition is draining all opponents simultaneously through repeated pings and direct damage spells like Boltwave and End the Festivities.
