Commander: Slinza, the Spiked Stampede

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Slinza, the Spiked Stampede is a Gruul Beast-tribal midrange deck that ramps into discounted Beasts and turns them sideways. Slinza's cost reduction and entering +1/+1 counter make every threat larger, while power-4+ entries trigger repeatable fight removal. The deck supports two infinite engines: Herd Baloth plus Ivy Lane Denizen for uncapped Beast tokens, and Selvala, Heart of the Wilds with Nature's Will and Aggravated Assault for infinite combats. The primary finish is a Craterhoof/Pathbreaker/Finale alpha strike, with the combos serving as alternate, sometimes faster, wins. Draw engines like Wirewood Savage and Garruk's Uprising keep the hand full after each big Beast.
