The Tickler by TsulKalu

Format: Commander

Commander: Jin-Gitaxias // The Great Synthesis

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Jin-Gitaxias // The Great Synthesis is the face commander, but the deck is built around an artifact combo shell, not the Praetor itself. The front provides card draw off expensive noncreature spells and can flip into a saga that resets boards and grants free spells; that saga should be viewed as a secondary value engine and a soft lock rather than the main finisher. Meanwhile, the artifact package (cost reducers, Top-Forge engines, Basalt-Forsaken combos) can generate infinite mana, draw the library, and win with Brain Freeze or giant Eldrazi. The commander is an accelerant and alternate path, not the dependency.
