Etali, Primal Conqueror // Etali, Primal Sickness leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it. The list holds 18 ramp pieces, 9 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 3.21.
Early: The early turns belong to ramp. Seething Song and the other 18 ramp pieces exist to get Etali, Primal Conqueror // Etali, Primal Sickness out well before its printed cost of 7 would allow.
Mid: Once the commander is down, the deck wants to be doing two things at once: advancing its own board and answering everyone else's. Fury is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Jaxis, the Troublemaker keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Delayed Blast Fireball for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 2 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 3.21 average mana value the top end is middling, which means most turns hold two spells.
Win conditions: Wins through the commander and the strongest threats the colours offer, backed by real interaction.
