Crystal 1 by Steffen

Format: Commander

Commander: Crystal, Inhuman Princess

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Built around Crystal, Inhuman Princess as a four-color burn engine, this spell-slinger deck ramps into Crystal early and uses cheap noncreature spells as repeatable damage triggers. The main kill is Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal: with any two nonland mana sources, each copied Reversal untaps the Scepter and the mana sources, and every cast copy triggers Crystal for infinite damage. Jeskai Ascendancy plus dorks is the backup engine, letting cantrips chain into a one-turn burn loop. Dualcaster Mage + Twinflame or Electroduplicate provides an independent infinite-token combat win. No hidden commander; the deck is built around Crystal's trigger and loses most of its finishing speed if she leaves play.
