The Crystal Method by user4624160

Format: Commander

Commander: Crystal, Inhuman Princess

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a four-color spellslinger deck built around Crystal, Inhuman Princess. The primary plan is to assemble a critical mass of "whenever you cast a noncreature spell" triggers-Crystal's colored burn, Firebrand Archer, Kessig Flamebreather, Longshot Rebel Bowman, Vivi Ornitier, and Mana Cannons-then chain draw spells and cheap interaction to run through the whole deck. Secondary paths are token beatdown with Kykar, Third Path Iconoclast, and Sokka, plus big-mana floods from Aurora Awakener, Genesis Ultimatum, and Doppelgang. Crystal also acts as a four-color mana dork, fixing the difficult mana base. This is not an infinite-combo deck; it wins incrementally with table-wide burn and flying token combat.
