Sanar's (Not so) Improvised Time Trick by ProfessorTuukar

Format: Commander

Commander: Sanar, Unfinished Genius // Wild Idea

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This deck is a mono-blue-red extra-turn combo-adjacent strategy helmed by Sanar, Unfinished Genius // Wild Idea. The core plan is to deploy Sanar early, use cheap untap spells to generate Treasure tokens, then chain expensive extra-turn spells-copying them with Sanar's prepared ability when possible-to take infinite turns and eventually win through combat damage from a handful of tiny creatures. The deck runs an extreme 63 lands to ensure it never misses a drop, but it lacks any dedicated card-draw engines, meaningful interaction, or a fast clock. The primary win condition is to loop Nexus of Fate and Beacon of Tomorrows with enough mana, then beat down with 0-power creatures and the occasional Expropriate theft. The deck is a fragile, one-trick pony that collapses if the commander is answered.
