The Avatar State by Nightbear

Format: Commander

Commander: Avatar Aang // Aang, Master of Elements

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a five-color "Bending" Ally deck built around transforming Avatar Aang into Aang, Master of Elements, whose back face reduces every spell you cast by {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} and converts each upkeep into a massive value swing (gain 4 life, draw four, put +1/+1 counters, deal 4 damage to each opponent). To transform, the deck must trigger all four bending types in one turn - fire (Aang himself, Zuko, Exiled Prince, Fire Lord Zuko, Iroh, Dragon of the West), water (Katara, Bending Prodigy), earth (Toph, Earthbending Master), and air (Aang, Airbending Master). Once transformed, the deck dumps its hand for nearly free, swings with firebending mana, and chains extra combats via Hellkite Charger. A fast secondary plan is the Food Chain + Squee, the Immortal / Eternal Scourge infinite-mana loop, also finishing through Hellkite Charger's infinite combat steps.
