Phyrexian Praetors by user7777876

Format: Commander

Commander: Esika, God of the Tree // The Prismatic Bridge

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Five-color Praetor cheat deck. The commander's back face, The Prismatic Bridge, is the engine: ramp into it on turn 4, then every upkeep it drops a free Praetor. The front face, Esika, is only a fallback mana dork if the Bridge line is disrupted. Secondary paths are hard-casting Praetors with land-aura ramp and Realmbreaker tutoring every Praetor onto the battlefield. The win is a single overwhelming combat step: a hasted, Elesh-Norn-buffed Praetor army, often finished with Garruk Wildspeaker's -4 and trample. The deck is slow to start but extremely explosive once the Bridge and Realmbreaker chain is online. It has no infinite mana outlet; instead it converts a single Bridge/Realmbreaker sequence into a massive board, then kills in one combat.
