Trial

The "Trial" deck is a five-color Commander deck centered around group hug and pillow fort strategies, primarily led by Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis. The deck aims to create a friendly board state by providing resources and cards to all players through cards like Howling Mine, Dictate of Kruphix, and Minds Aglow, which encourage drawing and mana ramping for everyone. It simultaneously protects itself with cards like Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, and Sphere of Safety, making it difficult for opponents to attack.

Key synergies involve using cards like Edric, Spymaster of Trest and Rashmi, Eternities Crafter to gain extra value from the additional draws. The deck can win by leveraging the large amounts of resources it generates to cast powerful spells like Time Stretch or overwhelming opponents with card advantage. It also includes political elements through cards like Zedruu the Greathearted, which can donate permanents for extra benefits. Overall, the deck thrives on building alliances, controlling the board state indirectly, and eventually out-resourcing opponents.
