Etali Budget by Steffen

Format: Commander

Commander: Etali, Primal Conqueror // Etali, Primal Sickness

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Gruul ETB-value deck built around the front face of Etali, Primal Conqueror: ramp to seven mana, cast Etali, then multiply his enters trigger with copy effects so every trigger exiles one nonland card from each player and lets you cast all of them for free. The deck's hidden commander is the secondary Etali, Primal Storm, which can be copied and also feeds the free-cast chain. Back-face transformation to an 11/11 indestructible poison threat is a backup, not the main plan. The win is a snowball of Eldrazi-scale creatures and hasty Etali tokens overwhelming three opponents in one or two combat steps.
