Overview:

This Tymna/Thrasios deck is a high-powered combo-control build leveraging efficient two-card win conditions like Thassa's Oracle/Demonic Consultation and Tainted Pact, supported by backup lines including Gravecrawler/Carrion Feeder aristocrats loops and infinite mana with Thrasios, Triton Hero. The commanders provide consistent card advantage (Tymna) and a mana sink (Thrasios), while stax pieces like Archon of Emeria and Drannith Magistrate disrupt opponents. The deck operates at cEDH speeds with low-CMC tutors, free counterspells, and fast mana, aiming to assemble protected wins by turns 2-4.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

1. Early Setup (Turns 1-2): Deploy mana acceleration (Sol Ring, Mana Confluence, dorks) and stax pieces (Collector Ouphe, Opposition Agent). Use Tymna to refill hands via early combat damage.
2. Combo Assembly (Turns 2-4): Tutor for Demonic Consultation/Tainted Pact with Vampiric Tutor, Mystical Tutor, or Wishclaw Talisman. Protect the combo with free counterspells (Fierce Guardianship, Force of Will not listed but Misdirection/Flusterstorm present).
3. Alternative Lines:
   • Generate infinite mana via Basalt Monolith + Training Grounds/Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy, then draw the deck with Thrasios.
   • Loop Gravecrawler with Carrion Feeder and Blood Artist effects.
4. Lockout: Deploy stax pieces like Grand Abolisher during your turn or Archon of Valor's Reach naming instants to protect combos.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 1-2 lands, fast mana (Sol Ring, Mana Confluence), and a tutor or combo piece.
• Prioritize interaction (Force of Vigor, Dovin's Veto) in known counter-heavy metas.
• Avoid hands lacking blue mana for counterspells or black for tutors.

Key Tips:

• Use Opposition Agent to hijack opponents' fetchlands/tutors for critical pieces.
• Mystic Remora and Esper Sentinel provide draw engine redundancy if Tymna is removed.
• Culling Ritual can both clear opponents' boards and fuel explosive turns.

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Relies heavily on resolving unprotected 2-card combos vulnerable to counterspells (Thassa's Oracle dies to Stifle/Tale's End).
• Drannith Magistrate/Archon of Emeria can backfire by slowing your own tutors and combo assembly.

Moderate

• Graveyard hate (Rest in Peace, Leyline of the Void) disrupts Gravecrawler, Karmic Guide, and Colossal Skyturtle lines.
• Collector Ouphe/Null Rod effects disable mana rocks and Wishclaw Talisman.

Minor

• Limited board presence makes recovering from mass land destruction difficult.
• Thrasios, Triton Hero becomes a liability if infinite mana isn't achieved.

Most Important Cards:

• Thassa's Oracle (Primary win condition)
• Demonic Consultation (Fast combo enabler)
• Tainted Pact (Redundant combo enabler)
• Grand Abolisher (Combo protection)
• Opposition Agent (Disruption/tutor hijack)
• Mystic Remora (Card advantage engine)
• Fierce Guardianship (Free interaction)
• Esper Sentinel (Early card draw)
• Vampiric Tutor (Consistency tool)
• Training Grounds (Mana sink enhancer)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 9/10

• Capable of T2 wins with perfect hands (e.g., T1 Mana Crypt → T2 Demonic Consultation/Thassa's Oracle), typically threatening T3-4 victories.

Resilience: 7/10

• Multiple protection spells (Dovin's Veto, Grand Abolisher) and backup combos, but core Oracle line remains fragile to interaction.

Consistency: 9/10

• 10+ tutors and robust card selection (Tymna triggers, Mystic Remora, Esper Sentinel) ensure reliable access to combo pieces.

Interaction: 8/10

• Efficient counterspells (Flusterstorm, An Offer You Can't Refuse) and targeted removal (Swords to Plowshares), though lacks board wipes beyond Damn.

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at cEDH velocities with T2-3 win potential through compact combos and premium interaction but lacks the layered protection and free countermagic density of top-tier lists. Its stax elements and backup lines elevate it above "fragile" T2-3 decks but fall short of Tier 1's near-unbreakable locks.

Power level: 8.5 - 9.0
