Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This list is a high-octane Gruul combo deck piloted by Etali, Primal Conqueror, built to abuse fast mana, dense rituals, and a suite of redundant infinite lines that can close games as early as turn 3. The primary strategy is to accelerate into a two-card combo (Food Chain + Squee, the Immortal or Dualcaster Mage + a copy spell) and convert the resulting infinite mana or infinite tokens into a victory. Etali herself acts as a powerful payoff: repeated casts from infinite mana strip opponents' libraries, or a single hit with her transformed side delivers lethal poison. The deck effectively treats Etali as a value engine and an optional win condition rather than a required piece - the combos all live in the 99, meaning the deck retains full power without ever casting the commander.
