Overview:

This Anje Falkenrath deck leverages madness synergies and graveyard recursion to enable fast combo kills. The commander serves as a turbo-draw engine, cycling through the deck to assemble the Worldgorger Dragon/Animate Dead infinite loop or Underworld Breach lines. Secondary strategies include reanimation payoffs and Twinflame/Dualcaster Mage combos. Anje is critical for velocity but not strictly essential for combo execution once key pieces are assembled.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

1. Early Game (Turns 1-3):
   • Cast Anje immediately (T1 with Dark Ritual/Sol Ring)
   • Cycle madness cards to dig for combo pieces/tutors
   • Use Entomb/Unmarked Grave to setup Worldgorger Dragon
   • Deploy mana accelerants (Skirk Prospector, Simian Spirit Guide)

2. Mid Game (Turns 3-5):

   • Resolve Animate Dead/Necromancy on Worldgorger Dragon to start infinite loop
   • Generate infinite mana with Worldgorger loops + mana rocks
   • Cast Underworld Breach + LED (proxy via Songs of the Damned) for graveyard recursion
   • Twinflame targeting Dualcaster Mage for infinite hasty tokens

3. Win Conditions:

   • Worldgorger Loop: Infinite mana -> Rakdos Charm/Baleful Mastery opponents out
   • Breach Lines: Recur Saw in Half/Pyroblast infinitely with Songs of the Damned
   • Twinflame+Dualcaster: Create infinite attackers
   • Doomsday Piles: Typically involving Breach recursion and Storm count

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with Anje + 2 lands or fast mana (Sol Ring/Dark Ritual)
• Prioritize Entomb/Unmarked Grave + reanimation spell
• Accept hands with Worldgorger + Animate Dead even without protection
• Avoid hands lacking red/black sources or discard outlets

Key Tips:

• Use Shadow of the Grave to recover discarded combo pieces
• Cast Doomsday in response to Anje's draw trigger for instant-speed pile setup
• Emergence Zone enables surprise Breach/Reanimate plays
• Muck Drubb redirects targeted removal protecting Worldgorger
• Wishclaw Talisman should fetch missing combo piece then donate with final counter

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Worldgorger combo loses the game if interrupted mid-loop
• Graveyard hate (Rest in Peace, Leyline of the Void) completely shuts down primary wincons
• Low permanent count makes deck vulnerable to hand disruption

Moderate

• Relies heavily on 2-card combos with minimal protection
• Limited stack interaction beyond Pyroblast/Imp's Mischief
• Struggles against Rule of Law effects

Minor

• Some mana instability from painlands/conditional duals
• Madness subtheme becomes irrelevant post-combo assembly

Most Important Cards:

• Worldgorger Dragon (Primary combo engine)
• Animate Dead (Worldgorger enabler)
• Underworld Breach (Alternative combo recursion)
• Entomb (Tutors combo pieces)
• Dark Ritual (Enables explosive starts)
• Doomsday (Compact win condition)
• Twinflame (Infinite token generator)
• Wishclaw Talisman (Tutor with political upside)
• Songs of the Damned (Mana generation for Breach lines)
• Emergence Zone (Enables instant-speed combos)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 8/10

• Capable of T2-T3 wins with perfect draws (Entomb+Reanimate+Worldgorger), regularly threatens T4-T5 kills.

Resilience: 5/10

• Multiple combo lines provide redundancy, but core Worldgorger strategy is fragile to interaction. Limited protection spells outside combo turns.

Consistency: 7/10

• Anje's cycling and 12 tutors provide strong digging power, but relies on resolving 2-card combos in colors with limited card selection.

Interaction: 4/10

• Focused on combo protection (Pyroblast, Imp's Mischief) rather than broad answers. Can disrupt opposing combos but struggles against wide boards.

Rating Justification:

This deck achieves cEDH-adjacent speed with multiple T3-T4 win lines but lacks the interaction density and free protection of top-tier lists. While faster than typical Focused Competitive decks, its fragility to common hate and all-in nature caps its rating below true cEDH viability.

Power level: 7.5 - 8.0
