A Lesson In Memorization by Thorru

Format: Commander

Creator: Thorru

Commander: Inalla, Archmage Ritualist

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Grixis turbo combo deck leverages Inalla, Archmage Ritualist from the command zone using her Eminence ability to execute explosive, compact Wizard reanimation and tutor chains without ever casting her. The primary game plan revolves around one-card and two-card combo starters like Spellseeker, Entomb, and Buried Alive. Resolving Spellseeker triggers Inalla to create a token copy, fetching fast rituals, reanimation spells, and recursion loops through Scholar of the Ages or Hoarding Broodlord to generate infinite mana and infinite Wizard tokens. Backed by free countermagic, fast mana rocks, and the compact Thassa's Oracle plus Tainted Pact backup win condition, the deck consistently races toward rapid victories.
