CommanderCast Ep 280 – Off-Color Green Stax
April 25, 2017
Hello everyone and welcome to the real CommanderCast Episode 280! We’re your weekly source for Community, Strategy, and Technology, hosted on MTGcast.com and our homesite: CommanderCast.com! This week Mark and Adam go over Office Color Deck ideas and this week they are talking about Stacks. That’s a deck that relies primarily on playing in a way that denies players of resources while keeping your resources just far enough ahead of everyone else so that you win… what’s the catch? Well they guys are doing it in green… Yeah…
And all you have to do is click the IB!!!

What is a stax deck?
- Control heavy
- Named after Smokestack
- Bog down other players to make them ineffective with sac, tax, and tap effects.
Why is green normally bad at stax decks?
- Not very tax driven
- Not very artifact friendly
How can stax work in green?
- Rely a bit more on artifacts
- A lot of tax effects. Green does have a few.
- Tap down opponent resource while untapping ours.
- Outpace your own stax
