Fynn, the Fangbearer (Poison, Deathtouch)

Format: Commander

Commander: Fynn, the Fangbearer

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a mono-green poison/Infect deck built entirely around Fynn, the Fangbearer. The plan is to deploy a swarm of cheap deathtouch creatures - most of them 1/1s for one mana - and convert their combat damage directly into poison counters via Fynn's trigger, then accelerate the clock to 10 poison with a dense proliferate package (Evolution Sage, Contagion Engine, Karn's Bastion) and native toxic/infect bodies like Bloated Contaminator and Venerated Rotpriest. Triumph of the Hordes is the explosive mass-infect finisher, while Rogue's Passage, Access Tunnel, and Trailblazer's Boots punch the small deathtouch dorks through. The deck is fast to deploy Fynn on turn 2, but its win is a grind: each unblocked deathtouch hit is only 2 poison, so it relies on repeated connections plus proliferate to close out three opponents. Fynn is the entire engine - without him, the deathtouch swarm never converts to poison.
