volo

Archetype: Simic creature-value/copy combo Commander Colors: Green-Blue

This Volo, Guide to Monsters deck is a creature-based value deck that wants to cast creatures with different creature types so Volo copies them for free. The deck ramps quickly, protects Volo with boots/counters, and snowballs through doubled ETB effects, card draw, and token generation.

Key synergies include copying creatures like Acidic Slime, Man-o'-War, Amphin Mutineer, Hornet Queen, Terastodon, and Peregrine Drake for huge value, plus clone effects like Spark Double, Phantasmal Image, and Clever Impersonator to multiply threats further. Intruder Alarm and Peregrine Drake can enable explosive mana/combo turns, while draw engines like Beast Whisperer, Elemental Bond, Tribute to the World Tree, Rhystic Study, and Consecrated Sphinx keep the hand full.

It usually wins by overwhelming the board with copied creatures and tokens, then finishing with a big overrun effect like **Crater
