mtg commander life drain deck Liesa, Shroud of Dusk LIFEGAIN Tax Magic Custom Thorn of the Dusk Rose Sheoldred, the Apocalypse Forced Card

not only does it generate ridiculous amounts of mana, but it exploits powerful draw engines like Curiosity and Tandem Lookout

I created the -volvers, which were monocolor creatures with two off-color kicker costs, each granting an ability to the creature and adding a different number of +1/+1 counters so you could tell which abilities the creature had

Lets create a hypothetical scenario to help illustrate the point of synergy and what is meant by it

If you need to set off the chain of instant explosions, cast Go for the Throat on one opponents token creature, pull a card like Liliana's Triumph to get rid of those pesky indestructibles on the other side of the table, pull some more mana from one of the rituals, and take out a heavy with Tragic Slip, spending 7 mana or so to wipe out the board state for many whenever you feel like triggering the sequence

Theres dozens of legendary creatures that could lead a deck like that, so knowing where to start can be difficult thats why were looking at the best elf commanders in MTG
