Zaffai and the Tempests by GMan1997

Format: Commander

Commander: Zaffai and the Tempests

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This high-powered Izzet combo deck focuses on accelerating into game-ending sorceries and instant-win payoffs. While Zaffai and the Tempests provides a powerful seven-mana cheat effect to cast massive spells for free, the deck primarily operates as an independent fast-combo shell. Mana acceleration from fast artifacts, red rituals, and Treasonous Ogre allows you to power out high-impact enablers such as Show and Tell, Omniscience, or Hellkite Courser ahead of curve. The premier win condition resolves Enter the Infinite to draw your entire library and win immediately with Thassa's Oracle. A robust suite of free counterspells protects your combo turns from opposing disruption.
