A New Take On cEDH - Dargo & Thrasios

Optimize My Deck

Primer

Deck List

My take on the Coastline Commanders [[Dargo, the Shipwrecker]] and [[Thrasios, Triton Hero]]. My key focus with this deck is the number of combos. The current meta in cEDH is focusing in on one or two combos and designing a deck around getting to them, this deck takes the opposite approach. The current deck list has 10 infinite combos, 2 Breach combos, and 1 manual 'grind it out' combo.

Typically a deck with this many combos would lose focus and not be able to assemble anything, but that hasn't been the case. Dargo enables so many combos that we can almost always get to one. Thrasios makes any infinite mana a deck-in-hand combo meaning previously directionless combos can be considered win conditions.

The current meta has cut [[Phyrexian Altar]] from Dargo Thrasios decks, I think this is a mistake. Phyrexian Altar enables 3 of the infinite combos I'm running and can generate infinite storm with just Dargo. While I run 13 combos I actually wrote out how to perform every combo I could think of using this deck. In total I've written steps to 22 combos that can be performed, some of them require cards that the deck doesn't run like [[Relic of Legends]] but many of them could be viable depending on how you want to run the deck.

My intention was to lay everything Dargo and Thrasios related out on the line and let the person reading the primer decide what to include and what not to.
