Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Xyris, the Writhing Storm weaponizes symmetrical draw spells to flood the battlefield with 1/1 green Snake tokens whenever opponents draw extra cards. The deck accelerates into its commander through low-cost mana dorks and rocks, then resolves mass draw effects such as Windfall, Reforge the Soul, and Winds of Change. Each wheel effect with three opponents generates twenty-one Snakes simultaneously. The primary win conditions bypass standard combat through enter-the-battlefield damage triggers from Purphoros, God of the Forge, Impact Tremors, and Molten Gatekeeper. Secondary lines close games by buffing the serpent swarm through Beastmaster Ascension and Shared Animosity or burning opponents with Psychosis Crawler.
