Jolly by Bandaliro

Format: Commander

Commander: The Jolly Balloon Man

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

An aggressive Boros ETB/token combo deck built around The Jolly Balloon Man's cheap activation and haste. The plan is to land a value creature, then use the commander - or one of the deck's other copy engines, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Ertha Jo, Frontier Mentor, or Agrus Kos, Eternal Soldier - to multiply ETBs and token triggers into an infinite loop. Wins come from infinite hasty attackers or pinging permanents like Impact Tremors, Warleader's Call, Molten Gatekeeper, and Goblin Bombardment, with Felidar Guardian/Restoration Angel or Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker/Zealous Conscripts as the cleanest kill lines. A dense small-creature draw package in Mentor of the Meek, Caretaker's Talent, Tocasia's Welcome, and Welcoming Vampire keeps the engine fed. It is a fast, redundant, engine-first list that plays strongly on its own turn but has very little stack interaction.
