Mayael the anima by Richo

Format: Commander

Commander: Mayael the Anima

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Mayael the Anima big-creature build that uses Naya ramp, top-of-library manipulation, and the commander's activated ability to put 5+ power creatures onto the battlefield without paying mana. The primary line cheats out a growing board of midrange threats, then closes with a doubled alpha strike using Gisela, Blade of Goldnight and Craterhoof Behemoth. Secondary plans include Elvish Piper, Tooth and Nail, See the Unwritten, Selvala's Stampede, and Turntimber Symbiosis as additional cheat outlets. Protection packages such as Avacyn, Archetype of Endurance, Boros Charm, and Teferi's Protection keep the board intact, while Seedborn Muse allows multiple Mayael activations per turn cycle.
