Phyrexian Praetors by user7777876

Format: Commander

Commander: Esika, God of the Tree // The Prismatic Bridge

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Five-color WUBRG Praetor pile built to cast The Prismatic Bridge, the back face of Esika, by turn three or four and then cheat one oversized permanent every upkeep. The Bridge itself is the real commander; Esika, God of the Tree is a backup mana dork that turns other legends into mana producers. The deck has three secondary routes: hardcast through land-enchantment/untap engines, Realmbreaker's ten-mana ultimate to deploy all Praetors, and mass reanimation from Primevals' Glorious Rebirth or Patriarch's Bidding. There is no true hidden commander, but Realmbreaker functions as a pseudo-commander that assembles the Praetor finisher. Victory comes from a hasty, buffed Praetor alpha strike, usually with Elesh Norn pump and Garruk overrun.
