Deck Feature: Seton, Krosan Protector

October 16, 2017

Today's feature is Seton, Krosan Protector - built by Jon Waters (@ominous1030 over on Twitter). Hear about the deck in (almost all of) Jon's words:

"Seton is a druid tribal deck, very underrated in commander but it packs quite a punch! Summoning sickness is not an issue here since Seton allows all of your druids to tap for a green mana, even the turn they come into play. Most druids are elves, so a lot of them are gonna be a form of mana ramp or utility for the deck. Ideally you want to get Seton out as early as possible. After casting Seton you want to be maximizing the mana you can produce each turn into more druids or utility cards to advance your board state.

In this version i use a couple artifacts and equipment that will allow me to tap and untap my creatures to create infinite mana which allow for a kill with either Craterhoof Behemoth, Ezuri, Renegade Leader or Kamahl, Fist of Krosa. A lot of the utility cards i use in the deck help draw cards or put a creature into play from my deck/hand such as Green Sun's Zenith, Chord of Calling or Natural Order. And if you have infinite mana you want can cast Genesis wave to play every permanent in your deck and go for the kill. Heroic intervention and Temur Sabertooth provide an answer to board wipes or removal in general. Land wise we have a lower count than normal decks and only a few non basics like Gaea’s cradle, nykthos, shrine of nyx, etc. simply because the deck doesn't need many to operate."
