Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Before you start
An opponent controls two targetable creatures.
Steps
Cast Venser by paying {4}{R}{R} plus commander tax if applicable. When Venser enters, it triggers targeting any applicable target, and Confusion of the Ranks also triggers targeting a creature an opponent controls. Resolve the Confusion of the Ranks trigger, exchanging control of Venser and the targeted creature. Holding priority, cast Deflecting Swat by paying at most {2}{R}, changing the target of Venser's trigger to Venser. Resolve Venser's ability, creating two token copies of it with haste. Put all but one Venser token into your graveyard due to the legend rule. The Venser tokens' abilities each trigger, with one trigger targeting the nontoken Venser and the other ability targeting any valid target. Resolve the Venser ability not targeting Venser, creating two copies of the chosen permanent with haste. Resolve the other Venser ability, creating two token copies of Venser with haste. Repeat from step 6.
