Commander: Etali, Primal Conqueror // Etali, Primal Sickness

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Gruul "big mana" deck built around Etali, Primal Conqueror's ETB. The plan is to ramp hard, cast Etali, and chain the free spells exiled from each player's library into a massive board. The primary win is transforming Etali into Etali, Primal Sickness - an 11/11 indestructible that deals 9 poison counters per hit - and using Genji Glove's double strike and extra combat to kill two players in a single turn. Secondary paths are combat: Twinflame Tyrant doubles all damage, Old Gnawbone and Zopandrel, Hunger Dominus turn the board lethal, and Hellkite Tyrant offers an artifact-based win. The deck is a high-variance, high-ceiling strategy that leans on explosive, game-ending turns rather than incremental value.
