Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero
Loop eggs and creatures using Second Sunrise effects and Gerrard's ability to trigger ETB/LTB damage sources infinitely. Use KCI or sacrificial outlets to cycle through the library and burn opponents.
Asked for“An RW combo deck for Gerrard, Weatherlight hero. The main deck consists of many artificats or creatures with an ETB-draw-a-card abilit, just the same as the famous modern "egg" deck. So second sunrise should be contained. Infinite combos are welcomed. How to end game: creatures with the ability that "whenever an artifact/ a creature enters, this creature deals 1 damage to each oppoent". The bracket should be 2~3, and GCs should be less than 3.”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
