Deck overview

This deck is a high-velocity competitive Gruul combo list designed to accelerate into Etali, Primal Conqueror as early as Turn 2 or 3. Utilizing format-ceiling fast mana, spirit guides, and explosive red rituals like Geosurge and Treasonous Ogre, the deck casts its 7-mana commander well ahead of curve. Upon entry, Etali exiles cards from all four players' libraries until hitting nonland spells and casts them for free. The deck leverages dense clone and copy effects such as Twinflame, Molten Duplication, and Heat Shimmer to duplicate Etali and chain ETB triggers across the entire table. As a definitive win condition, the deck features the Food Chain and Squee, the Immortal infinite combo to generate infinite creature mana, casting Etali from the command zone repeatedly to exile and cast every nonland card in all opponents' libraries in a single decisive turn.
