Neriv, Heart of the Storm Commander Deck

by ember_starfish100 cards

The deck floods the board with creature tokens, mostly attacking Warrior tokens from mobilize, then relies on Neriv doubling the damage dealt by anything that entered this turn. Fresh tokens and haste-granting effects turn each new body into a double-damage attacker, while anthem and double strike effects push combat damage far past what the board looks like. How it wins: Swarms of freshly created, hasty or attacking tokens connect with doubled damage, pumped by anthems and double strike, while enter-the-battlefield triggers drain opponents directly. Key cards: - Mobilize attackers: Each attack creates tapped and attacking Warrior tokens that entered this turn, so Neriv doubles their damage; Dalkovan Packbeasts and Zurgo, Thunder's Decree make the most of them. - Token doublers and makers: These multiply the bodies entering each turn; Elspeth, Storm Slayer doubles every token creation, and Adeline, Resplendent Cathar adds an attacking token each combat. - Haste and entry pump: These let non-token creatures that just entered attack at once, with extra power; Ogre Battledriver and Enduring Courage give entering creatures +2/+0 and haste, which Neriv then doubles. - Combat multipliers: These turn a wide attack into lethal damage through double strike or an extra combat; Raphael, the Nightwatcher gives attackers double strike, and All-Out Assault adds a combat with a team pump and deathtouch. - Entry damage and drain: These deal damage or drain life every time a creature enters or dies, independent of combat; Purphoros, God of the Forge pings opponents for each creature entering, and Venerated Stormsinger drains on deaths.
