Medomai the Ageless

Gameplan

Resolve Medomai, protect it, and connect for combat damage to chain extra turns. Each connection nets you another full turn of land drops, draws, and attacks, snowballing card and board advantage until you bury the table. Use the extra turns to deploy threats and stax pieces while everyone else watches.

Key Cards

• Aggravated Assault — Repeatable extra combat steps let Medomai attack again during a turn, chaining extra turns reliably.
• Bear Umbra — Totem armor protects Medomai while untapping your lands for extra-combat or protection mana.
• Finest Hour — Grants an extra combat each turn and exalted, dodging the 'can't attack during extra turns' clause to keep the chain going.
• Rogue's Passage — Makes Medomai unblockable so a guaranteed hit secures the next extra turn.
• Whispersilk Cloak — Gives shroud and unblockable, both protecting Medomai and ensuring combat damage lands.
• Teferi's Protection — Phases you out to survive a critical turn so the extra-turn engine survives a wipe.

Upgrade Path

Add untap-on-combat enablers (Bear Umbra, Sword of Feast and Famine, Aggravated Assault, Finest Hour) and ramp like Sol Ring and Smothering Tithe to combo off and reset extra-turn restrictions. Tighten protection with Swiftfoot Boots, Lightning Greaves, and counterspells so Medomai survives, and consider tutors like Enlightened Tutor for your equipment package. Top-end finishers such as Approach of the Second Sun or Felidar Sovereign convert the extra-turn advantage into a clean kill.
