Bracket: 3

Deck overview

The Jolly Balloon Man deck generates hasty, flying 1/1 copies of creatures each turn, using enters or attack triggers for value. It builds a wide token army, completes dungeons for bonus draws and free plays, and finishes with mass pump, lifelink token multiplier, or combat damage off copied threats. The commander is the primary engine; the deck also has a single infinite combo (Ertha Jo + Jolly Balloon Man + Zealous Conscripts) that requires assembling a 16-mana chain. Secondary plans include tutoring a finisher, stealing opponents' creatures with Molten Primordial or Seize the Spotlight, or using Initiative dungeons for card advantage.
