Shock Therapy by Nut

Format: Commander

Commander: The Howling Abomination

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Gruul spellslinger-Voltron hybrid built to cast The Howling Abomination early and make it enormous with a torrent of one-mana targeting spells. Every target pump grows the commander and deals 2 to each opponent, while Season of Growth and the auras refuel. Pingers (Firebrand Archer, Erebor Flamesmith, Storm-Kiln Artist) and Young Pyromancer convert the same spells into chip damage and tokens. Zada, Hedron Grinder serves as a hidden commander: copying cantrips across a wide board draws huge volume and pumps everything. Secondary lines use Soul's Fire/Fling on a giant creature or a Zada turn to go wide. No infinite combos are present.
