Etali, Primal Conqueror cEDH by user4624160

Format: Commander

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

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This RG deck is built to explode into Etali, Primal Conqueror ahead of curve, using rituals, mana rocks, and dorks. Etali's front face is the primary plan: its ETB exiles four nonland cards (one per player) and lets you cast all of them free, and copy effects like Roaming Throne, Rionya, and the red copy spells turn one Etali into an overwhelming chain. The back face, Etali, Primal Sickness, is a mana-sink one-shot that gives 11 poison per hit, especially with hasty tokens. Secondary deterministic lines are Food Chain + Squee into infinite creature mana, Dualcaster Mage plus a red copy spell, and Underworld Breach with Lion's Eye Diamond and Wheel of Fortune. There is no hidden commander; Etali is both engine and finisher.
