ANALYSIS

Overview:

This deck leverages The Beamtown Bullies to create immediate kill conditions by donating self-destructive creatures like Leveler and Bronze Bombshell to opponents. It combines cEDH-grade fast mana and tutors with graveyard recursion to execute a T3-4 "donate lethal" combo kill.

Primer:

Core Strategy: Turbo out Beamtown Bullies using fast mana (Mox Diamond, Lion's Eye Diamond) and activate its ability on an opponent's turn to force them to control a game-ending creature from your graveyard. The kill sequence has three phases:

  1. Setup: Use Entomb, Buried Alive, or wheel effects to stock graveyard with lethal creatures (Leveler = instant library exile, Bronze Bombshell = 7 damage on sacrifice)
  2. Execution: Activate Bullies' ability at opponent's end step via Emergence Zone or instant-speed untappers (Magewright's Stone + Thornbite Staff)
  3. Protection: Defend with free interaction (Deflecting Swat, Force of Vigor) and recursion (Noxious Revival)

Mulligan Priorities:

  • Keep hands with 1-2 fast mana sources
  • Require either graveyard filler (Faithless Looting) or tutor (Demonic Tutor)
  • Reject hands without T3 Bullies potential

Key Tips:

  • Use Peer into the Abyss on yourself to refuel after dumping combo pieces
  • Opposition Agent steals opponents' fetchlands and tutors
  • Dauthi Voidwalker provides alternative exile-based recursion

Weaknesses:

Critical:

  • Dies to graveyard hate (Rest in Peace cripples primary wincon)
  • Commander-dependent (3 removals on Bullies = non-functional)

Moderate:

  • Limited protection for donated creatures
  • No backup combat plan

Most Important Cards:

  • Leveler
  • Buried Alive
  • Entomb
  • Demonic Tutor
  • Vampiric Tutor
  • Imperial Seal
  • Lion's Eye Diamond
  • Emergence Zone
  • Deflecting Swat
  • Force of Vigor

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 9/10

  • T3 goldfish kill possible (T1 ramp → T2 Bullies + activation setup → T3 donate)
    Resilience: 6/10
  • Free protection spells but fragile to layered hate
    Consistency: 8/10
  • 7 tutors + 3 wheel effects + redundant combo pieces
    Interaction: 7/10
  • 14 interaction spells (5 free) but focused on protecting own combo

Rating Justification:

This deck sits between High Power (T3-4 win benchmark) and cEDH Tier 2 due to:

  • cEDH-speed mana base and tutors
  • Commander dependency lowering resilience vs true cEDH decks
  • Lacks compact secondary wincons seen in 9.0+ lists

Power level: 8.0 - 8.5
