Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Before you start
An opponent controls exactly one creature. Anzrag does not have summoning sickness.
Steps
Activate Anzrag by paying {3}{G}{G}{R}{R}, causing opponents to block Anzrag if able this turn. Cast Darksteel Mutation for {1}{W} targeting the only creature an opponent controls. Resolve Darksteel Mutation, turning the enchanted creature into a 0/1 Insect artifact creature with indestructible. Declare Anzrag as an attacker, attacking the opponent who controls the enchanted creature. The opponent is forced to block Anzrag with the enchanted creature, triggering Anzrag, untapping all creatures you control and causing you to get an additional combat phase after this one. Repeat from step 4.
Darksteel Mutation + Medomai the Ageless + Capsize
- Infinite turns
Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Steps
Deal combat damage using Medomai, triggering its ability, causing you to take an extra turn after this one. Move to your next turn. Cast Darksteel Mutation by paying its mana cost, attaching it to Medomai and causing it to lose its abilities. Declare Medomai as an attacker. Holding priority, cast Capsize with buyback by paying {4}{U}{U}, returning Darksteel Mutation and Capsize to your hand. Repeat from step 1.
