Bracket: 3

DeckCheck Threat Index: 36

Deck overview

This deck is a 5-color battlecruiser strategy built entirely around casting The Prismatic Bridge side of Esika, God of the Tree. By completely excluding low-mana creatures, every single upkeep trigger is guaranteed to hit a game-warping 7-12 CMC threat, such as Pathrazer of Ulamog, Zetalpa, Primal Dawn, Darksteel Colossus, or Ghalta and Mavren. The deck accelerates its mana using 14 two-mana ramp pieces and Guild Signets to cast its 5-color commander as early as Turn 4. Once operational on Turn 5, it snowballs overwhelming board presence with the aid of haste enablers like Temur Ascendancy, Rhythm of the Wild, and Fires of Yavimaya. While vulnerable to enchantment removal and lacking stack interaction, its dense ramp suite provides strong resilience to hard-cast its massive threats if the commander is removed.
