The 97! by oldguymtg

Format: Commander

Commander: Sanar, Innovative First-Year

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an all-in, deck-thinning combo deck built around Sanar, Innovative First-Year and an absurd 97-basic mana base. The plan is to play lands, cast Sanar, and use his Vivid trigger to exile the deck's only two nonland spells - Treasure Hunt and Magmakin Artillerist. Treasure Hunt then draws virtually the entire library into hand, Magmakin Artillerist enters the battlefield, and the end-of-turn cleanup discard of dozens of excess lands triggers the Artillerist to deal lethal damage to all three opponents at once. The only real win condition is that single combo; the deck has no protection, no interaction, and no backup plan, making it a glass cannon that goldfishes a turn-5 kill but folds to almost any disruption.
