Felix Five-Boots
Capitalize on Felix Five-Boots' ability to double all combat damage triggers dealt to players. We deploy potent saboteur creatures and equipments, ensure they connect using evasion and protection, and generate overwhelming mana, card advantage, tokens, and life loss.
Prompt: Build a powerful, focused Felix Five-Boots Commander deck around combat-damage triggers. Prioritize creatures whose abilities trigger specifically when they deal combat damage to an opponent/player, since Felix makes those triggers happen an additional time. Do NOT include creatures just because they are unblockable, flying, or evasive. Evasive creatures should ideally ALSO have a strong combat-damage-to-a-player trigger that gives card advantage, mana, removal, theft, tokens, counters, disruption, or another meaningful effect. Include support that helps these creatures connect: unblockable effects, flying/evasion, tapping or stunning enemy creatures, keeping blockers tapped, or preventing blocks. Use these only to enable combat-damage triggers, not as the main theme. The plan is: play Felix, land strong combat-damage creatures, clear or bypass blockers, hit opponents, and double the triggers. Keep enough ramp, draw, removal, protection, interaction, and a solid mana base.
