Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Xyris, the Writhing Storm helms this Temur deck built around an explosive combat-damage card draw engine. The primary strategy involves casting Xyris, making it unblockable via Rogue's Passage or other evasion, and using an incredibly dense suite of cheap pump spells to close out the game via commander damage (21 points). Backup wins come from Psychosis Crawler draining opponents on the many draw triggers, and the snake tokens created by Xyris s ability (which chump block and hold equipment like Glowcap Lantern). The deck packs a solid countermagic suite to protect its game plan.
