Never play your commander - sneak attack it in instead

Xander is awesome. Sure, he got dunked on by Ob Nixilis before he even got released, but he's alive in our cold, janky hearts. Before you is a list that I thought up while on a hell of a lot of weed, in true New Capenna fashion.

No, this deck isn't good, but I wanted to live the wet dream of getting all three modes of Xander for 1 mana

You could say I'm addicted to value. When you tutor, you don't tutor for cards that will help you win. You don't tutor for the Mindcrank/Bloodchief Ascension combo that I snuck in here. You tutor for Sneak Attack or Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded, and then wait for several turns to get your commander in your hand. And then finally, after all that work, you get a 7cmc card for 1 mana, activate all of the modes, and spray your game table in your very own white liquid. After this undoubtedly puts you in a state of mental compromise, I think you should go to tappedout.com and give this deck a +1.

Happy playing!
