Overview:
This 5-color Kenrith deck is a high-powered combo engine leveraging multiple infinite loops and efficient tutors to secure victory. The commander serves primarily as a value piece and backup win condition, enabling card draw, reanimation, and life gain to support combo assembly. The deck's core strategy revolves around executing fast, resilient combos like Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker/Zealous Conscripts, Squirrel Nest/Earthcraft, Devoted Druid/Vizier of Remedies, and Thassa's Oracle/Demonic Consultation, backed by a robust interaction suite and premium mana base.
Primer:
Core Strategy Execution:
- Early Setup (Turns 1-3): Prioritize fast mana (Sol Ring, Mox Opal, Mana Confluence) and tutors (Demonic Tutor, Green Sun's Zenith). Cast Esper Sentinel or Mystic Remora to disrupt opponents while digging for combo pieces.
- Combo Assembly (Turns 2-4): Use Fauna Shaman, Diabolic Intent, or Demonic Consultation to fetch key components. Deploy Devoted Druid + Vizier of Remedies for infinite green mana, enabling Kenrith’s card draw to find Thassa’s Oracle. Alternatively, cheat out Kiki-Jiki via reanimation (Animate Dead, Karmic Guide).
- Win Execution (Turns 3-5):
- Infinite mana + Kenrith’s blue ability to deck yourself, then resolve Thassa’s Oracle.
- Kiki-Jiki + Zealous Conscripts for infinite hasty tokens.
- Earthcraft + Squirrel Nest for infinite tapped squirrels, then Altar of Dementia for mill.
- Protection: Use Silence, Grand Abolisher, and free counters (Dovin's Veto, Mana Drain) to shield combos. Teferi’s Protection and Heroic Intervention protect against wipes.
Mulligan Priorities:
- Keep hands with 2+ lands, fast mana, or a tutor. Prioritize Demonic Tutor, Esper Sentinel, or a combo pair (e.g., Devoted Druid + Vizier).
- Avoid hands lacking ramp or tutors unless holding a T2-T3 combo.
Key Tips:
- Use Kenrith’s reanimation ability to recur combo pieces like Kiki-Jiki or Devoted Druid.
- Isochron Scepter imprinting Dramatic Reversal + mana rocks creates infinite mana.
- Training Grounds reduces Kenrith’s activation costs, enabling rapid card draw or reanimation loops.
Weaknesses:
Critical
- Graveyard hate (Rest in Peace, Leyline of the Void) shuts down reanimation lines and Devoted Druid.
- Anti-search effects (Opposition Agent, Aven Mindcensor) cripple tutor-dependent strategies.
- Rule of Law effects (Ethersworn Canonist, Deafening Silence) prevent combo execution.
Moderate
- Artifact destruction disrupts mana rocks and combo enablers like Isochron Scepter.
- Instant-speed interaction can interrupt infinite mana sinks (e.g., countering Kenrith’s draw ability post-Thassa’s Oracle).
Minor
- Aggressive decks may pressure life totals before combos assemble, but the deck runs ample life gain (Kenrith’s white ability, Teferi’s Protection).
Most Important Cards:
- Demonic Consultation (Tutor/Thoracle win enabler)
- Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker (Primary combo piece)
- Thassa's Oracle (Instant-win condition)
- Devoted Druid (Infinite mana engine)
- Teferi, Time Raveler (Combo protection/soft lock)
- Grand Abolisher (Combo turn protection)
- Dovin's Veto (Uncounterable interaction)
- Demonic Tutor (Critical tutor)
- Earthcraft (Infinite token generator)
- Mox Opal (Explosive mana acceleration)
Attribute Ratings:
Speed: 9/10
- Capable of T2-T3 wins with optimal hands (e.g., Demonic Consultation + Thoracle, Devoted Druid + Vizier + draw engine).
Resilience: 7/10
- Robust interaction suite (counterspells, hexproof) and combo redundancy mitigate disruption, but graveyard reliance remains a liability.
Consistency: 8/10
- 10+ tutors and extensive card draw ensure frequent access to combo pieces, though 5-color mana demands occasional hiccups.
Interaction: 8/10
- High-quality counterspells, removal, and stax (Ethersworn Canonist, Defense Grid) disrupt opponents while protecting combos.
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at cEDH-adjacent speeds with T2-T3 win potential but lacks the hyper-optimized redundancy and free interaction of top-tier lists. Its robust mana base, multiple combo lines, and layered protection justify a high-power rating, though meta-dependent vulnerabilities prevent Tier 1 status.
Power level: 8.0 - 8.5
