<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Iroh, Grand Lotus" href="#" target="_blank">Iroh, Grand Lotus</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> | Art by <a href="https://www.artstation.com/mangamie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fahmi Fauzi</a></em></p>
<p>This week on <em>Beyond the Multiverse</em>, the series where I brew decks using only Universes Beyond cards, I'm doing one last deck tech from <a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/tla" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Avatar: The Last Airbender</em></a> (<em>ATLA</em>). The character I'm showcasing today is one that could mostly be built from the set itself, barring one or maybe two other sets. He's one who, to the surprise of no one, is a fan favorite to everyone who's watched the show.</p>
<p>Who is it that I'm covering? <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Iroh, Grand Lotus" href="#" target="_blank">Iroh, Grand Lotus</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<h2><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Iroh, Grand Lotus" href="#" target="_blank">Iroh, Grand Lotus</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Iroh, Grand Lotus"></div></div>
<p>Zuko's uncle (and honestly, a better father than Ozai ever was) has much wisdom to give, be it to other characters in the show, or even to us. This is best showcased with a subtype that, before <em>ATLA</em>, showed up exactly one set before it.</p>
<p>I speak of Lessons.</p>
<p>Lessons got a massive boost with the set, providing an incredible amount of utility rather than being the draft chaff that it was in the past. With Iroh, he can recur them again for a single colorless mana. However, we also need other instants and sorceries to better support those Lesson cards.</p>
<p>Having said this, the natural direction for an Iroh deck is <a href="https://edhrec.com/tags/spellslinger" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spellslinging</a>.</p>
<h2>Key Cards for <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Iroh, Grand Lotus" href="#" target="_blank">Iroh, Grand Lotus</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<h3>Lessons to Be Learned</h3>
<p>I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that Iroh's flashback-granting ability only applies on our turn, so we can't do any shenanigans on our opponents' turns. That said, we can still take advantage of this drawback. Like I said, Lessons tend to gravitate around being more utility-based.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Shared Roots" href="#" target="_blank">Shared Roots</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is a great example of this. It's a spell that's identical to <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rampant Growth" href="#" target="_blank">Rampant Growth</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, but it's also a Lesson, which is something Iroh can make cheaper when cast from the graveyard.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Shared Roots"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Whirlwind Technique"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Redirect Lightning"></div></div>
<p>We also have Lesson spells that aren't clones of older spells, but rather unique ones. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Whirlwind Technique" href="#" target="_blank">Whirlwind Technique</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Reckless Blaze" href="#" target="_blank">Reckless Blaze</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> have effects that didn't exist in older sets, especially the former and its airbending ability. These are welcome additions to our Lesson repertoire, expanding what they could already do.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Chakra Meditation" href="#" target="_blank">Chakra Meditation</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> ensures we don't need to discard cards if we have enough Lessons in the graveyard, yet letting us draw. It gets crazy when paired with Iroh, and enough Lessons to flash back in one turn (more on this soon).</p>
<p>Also, to better protect Iroh himself, as he sits at a hefty six mana, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Redirect Lightning" href="#" target="_blank">Redirect Lightning</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> will help keep removal off his back.</p>
<h3>Other Homework</h3>
<p>Of course, we'll need to complement those Lesson cards with non-Lesson instants and sorceries, whose main roles will essentially be filling in the blanks. That said, Iroh will have us pay full price for these, so I went with as many cheap non-Lessons as I could.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Frantic Search|tle|159"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Opt|ltc|194"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Hull Breach|40k|224"></div></div>
<p>On the one hand, there's cheap cantrips like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Opt|ltc|194" href="#" target="_blank">Opt</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Consider|tle|157" href="#" target="_blank">Consider</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, which are easily castable from the graveyard with Iroh's ability. On the other, we have <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Wreck and Rebuild|who|169" href="#" target="_blank">Wreck and Rebuild</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, which will either give us a land (while fueling the yard for Iroh!) or destroying an artifact or enchantment.</p>
<p>The main deckbuilding advice I'll give about Iroh is exactly all this. We need to keep our non-Lesson spells cheap. That way, we can easily flash them back with Iroh.</p>
<p>In addendum, what the Lesson cards don't cover, our non-Lesson cards should cover the rest of the bases.</p>

<h3>Experience Is the Best Teacher</h3>
<p>Remember the point I said I'd come back to? Basically, it's how we win. Not only do we have effects like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Longshot, Rebel Bowman" href="#" target="_blank">Longshot, Rebel Bowman</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, but also casting multiple spells in one turn gets us there. We'll eventually have enough instants and sorceries to flash back that we could pull off an explosive turn. During that time, we'll have finished setting up. The trick is to get enough Lesson cards in the bin to make this possible.</p>
<p>Since Iroh only reduces Lessons to a single mana, we'll need enough of them to make it happen. Alternatively, we have cards like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Storm, Force of Nature" href="#" target="_blank">Storm, Force of Nature</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Storm of Memories" href="#" target="_blank">Storm of Memories</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Guttersnipe|ltc|220"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Storm, Force of Nature"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Longshot, Rebel Bowman"></div></div>
<p>Secondly, the other way is through the likes of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Guttersnipe|ltc|220" href="#" target="_blank">Guttersnipe</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and its ilk. I already mentioned Longshot, who's among the best of these, but <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Fiery Inscription" href="#" target="_blank">Fiery Inscription</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is just as good. In addition, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Erebor Flamesmith" href="#" target="_blank">Erebor Flamesmith</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> has a weaker effect, but can come out sooner. So, too, does <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch" href="#" target="_blank">Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, but that also recurs your spells to use again.</p>
<h3>Spreading Our Teachings</h3>
<p>Expanding our horizons into in-universe sets gives us some major boons. Above all, the most important card to add is <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Storm-Kiln Artist" href="#" target="_blank">Storm-Kiln Artist</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. With this, we can keep chaining Lessons with Iroh by using the Treasure tokens the Artist makes.</p>
<p>In addition, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Birgi, God of Storytelling" href="#" target="_blank">Birgi, God of Storytelling</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> functions in an identical fashion. So, too, does <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Doc Aurlock, Grizzled Genius" href="#" target="_blank">Doc Aurlock, Grizzled Genius</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, except the Lesson cards will be free. Not only that, but the non-Lesson cards become much cheaper, too!</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Storm-Kiln Artist"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Doc Aurlock, Grizzled Genius"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Birgi, God of Storytelling"></div></div>
<p>Meanwhile, we get access to the remaining Lesson cards. However, a lot of these aren't worth it. There's a few standouts, like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Introduction to Prophecy" href="#" target="_blank">Introduction to Prophecy</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, but nothing significant to write home about. But, it'd still be at home with Iroh. I can only imagine what a deck would look like if we ran just Lesson cards for our instants and sorceries.</p>
<p>Our win conditions get much better here, too. Examples include <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ignite Memories" href="#" target="_blank">Ignite Memories</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Brain Freeze" href="#" target="_blank">Brain Freeze</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. So, once you finish setting up, and your opponents can't stop you, go nuts (without the squirrels, of course)!</p>
<h3>Class's End</h3>
<p>I doubt this'll be the last time we'll get a stronger focus on Lessons. Perhaps we'll see them in a certain in-universe set this year?</p>
<p>Coming soon is <em>Lorwyn Eclipsed</em>, and that set's looking really cool. That next one won't be our traditional <em>Universes Beyond</em> article, but instead, it'll be 100 percent in-universe. But that won't mean I don't have some restrictive shenanigans in place. Tune in next week to see what I have in store for you.</p>


Iroh, Grand Lotus Teaching Lessons in Universes Beyond

<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bruce Banner" href="#" target="_blank">Bruce Banner</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> | Art by <a href="https://www.tommyarnoldart.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tommy Arnold</a></em></p>
<p>Have you ever wondered what <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Thrasios, Triton Hero" href="#" target="_blank">Thrasios, Triton Hero</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> would be like if it cost one mana less? And, just to entertain the hypothetical, if it could also be a combo piece itself - not just an infinite mana outlet?</p>
<p>Well, folks, <em>Magic</em>'s next <em>Marvel </em>crossover has come to answer exactly that question. May I present to you <span class="edhrecp__link side-by-side"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bruce Banner" href="#" target="_blank">Bruce Banner</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, a one-mana legendary creature that packs all of Temur into its color identity.</p>
<p>So, let's get to building this commander for cEDH.</p>
<h2>What Does <span class="edhrecp__link side-by-side"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bruce Banner" href="#" target="_blank">Bruce Banner</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> Do?</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards side-by-side"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Bruce Banner"></div></div>
<p>On the front side, Bruce Banner is a legendary 1/1 Human Scientist Hero creature for <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-u" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span> with two activated abilities. First, "<span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-x" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-x" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>, <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-tap" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>: Draw X cards. Activate only as a sorcery," and second, "<span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-2" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-r" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-r" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-g" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-g" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>: Transform Bruce Banner. Activate only as a sorcery."</p>
<p>On the reverse side, Bruce Banner is The Incredible Hulk, a legendary 8/8 Gamma Berserker Hero with reach, trample, and the triggered ability "Whenever The Incredible Hulk is dealt damage, put a +1/+1 counter on him. If he's attacking, untap him and there is an additional combat phase after this phase."</p>
<p>Additionally, borrowing some card design technology from <em>Spider-Man</em>, you can cast The Incredible Hulk as the reverse side for <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-2" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-r" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-r" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-g" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-g" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>. That's right, this is a transforming MDFC.</p>
<p>So, what does this whole package do in a cEDH context? Well, starting with Bruce Banner, it's eerily similar to <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Thrasios, Triton Hero" href="#" target="_blank">Thrasios, Triton Hero</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Bruce is a cheap infinite mana outlet that enables commander-dependent spells really early - all good things in a Temur deck. It's super unfortunate that the ability to draw cards can only be activated as a sorcery, but considering that it costs half as much as a Thrasios activation, that seems like a fairly reasonable tradeoff.</p>
<p>Looking to The Incredible Hulk, things get a little murky. cEDH isn't exactly know for its stompy green decks, and that's the role The Incredible Hulk is trying to fill. Additionally, having The Incredible Hulk in play means that you don't have Bruce Banner in play - a tradeoff that cuts you out of one more possible value engine you would've had otherwise.</p>
<p>However, as we'll see later on, there's a combo to be found with The Incredible Hulk that makes this all worth it.</p>
<h2>Key Cards for <span class="edhrecp__link side-by-side"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bruce Banner" href="#" target="_blank">Bruce Banner</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<h3>Ability Cost Reducers</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Training Grounds"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Biomancer&#039;s Familiar"></div></div>
<p>Starting out with some cards ripped straight out of Thrasios, we've got activated ability cost reducers. Each of these two cards reduces the cost to activate Bruce Banner's abilities by <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-2" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span> (<em>unless it would reduce the cost to just <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-0" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>, in which case it only reduces it to <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-1" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span></em>). That means that, with one of these effects in play, you can draw one card for <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-1" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>, or two cards for <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-2" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>, or three cards for <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-4" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>...you get the idea.</p>
<p>In long games, this amount of value can snowball insurmountably, turning Bruce Banner into one of the best engines in your deck.</p>
<h3>Artifact Tutors</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Trophy Mage"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Whir of Invention"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Transmute Artifact"></div></div>
<p>While tutors are nothing unique to any particular commander, Bruce Banner does pay more attention to artifacts than most other Temur cEDH decks do. All three of its combos use an artifact in one way or another, and these three cards make sure that you can reliably find your combo pieces game after game.</p>
<h2>How Does <span class="edhrecp__link side-by-side"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bruce Banner" href="#" target="_blank">Bruce Banner</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> Win?</h2>
<h3>Infinite Mana</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Basalt Monolith"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Finale of Devastation"></div></div>
<p>Starting off with the deck's premier infinite mana combo, it's the classic pair of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy" href="#" target="_blank">Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Basalt Monolith" href="#" target="_blank">Basalt Monolith</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Pairing these two together allows for infinite colorless mana production, as Basalt Monolith will add <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-c" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-c" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-c" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-c" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span> and only require <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-3" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span> to untap itself. With that mana, you'll draw your deck thanks to Bruce Banner, and somewhere in there you'll see a whole bunch of creatures and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Finale of Devastation" href="#" target="_blank">Finale of Devastation</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Cast all the creatures, then cast Finale of Devastation for some arbitrarily large X value. It doesn't matter what, if anything, you grab - all that matters is that X is large enough to boost your newly-hasty board's power to lethal.</p>
<h3>Hulk Combo</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Caltrops"></div></div>
<p>On to the star of the show: the one-card combo with The Incredible Hulk: <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Caltrops" href="#" target="_blank">Caltrops</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<p>For <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-3" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>, Caltrops is an artifact that, whenever a creature attacks, deals one damage to that creature. Wouldn't you know it, whenever The Incredible Hulk is dealt damage, you'll put a +1/+1 counter on it. Additionally, The Incredible Hulk will see that this damage happened while it was attacking, untapping it and creating another combat step. Thanks to the +1/+1 counters, The Incredible Hulk won't die from the damage, and thus triggering Caltrops, for an infinite number of combats.</p>
<h3>Underworld Breach Combo</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Underworld Breach"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Lion&#039;s Eye Diamond"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Brain Freeze"></div></div>
<p>Last but not least, what would a red cEDH deck be without <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Underworld Breach" href="#" target="_blank">Underworld Breach</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>? You know it, you love it (or maybe you hate it): cast Underworld Breach, cast and then sacrifice a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lion&#039;s Eye Diamond" href="#" target="_blank">Lion&#039;s Eye Diamond</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> to add <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-u" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-u" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-u" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>, then escape <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Brain Freeze" href="#" target="_blank">Brain Freeze</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> from your graveyard, targeting yourself. You'll mill a bunch of cards, be up <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-u" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span> from where you started, and be in the perfect situation to restart the cycle.</p>
<p>Keep going until you have as much mana as you need and see as many cards as you need, then either execute one of the other two combos or just mill out your opponents by casting Brain Freeze with an arbitrarily large storm count.</p>

<h2>Wrap Up</h2>
<p>Bruce Banner may be a sorcery-speed only engine, but it's still a one-mana engine in a world where having access to your Commander early is often a huge advantage. To top it all of, in the late game The Incredible Hulk has real combo potential - artifacts aren't too hard to tutor for in blue, and Caltrops is pretty cheap to cast considering it can end the game the turn it resolves.</p>
<p>Only time will tell how much staying power the deck really has, but one thing's for sure: it certainly has potential.</p>
