Legendary Creature — Human Villain
Flying Power-up — {5}{U}{U}{U}: Put a +1/+1 counter on Kang. Take an extra turn after this one. During that turn, power-up abilities can't be activated. (Activate each power-up ability only once. Reduce the cost by his mana cost if he entered this turn.)

“Fly over blockers, steal turns, and grow bigger while locking opponents out.”
Kang the Conqueror is a flying threat that grows stronger and generates extra turns through his power-up ability. Your gameplan revolves around protecting and repeatedly activating his power-up cost to stack +1/+1 counters while stealing turns—each activation makes him harder to deal with and stretches your clock dramatically. You're not trying to win fast; instead, you're locking opponents out by controlling the flow of time and overwhelming them with a progressively larger flying threat. The deck wants ramp, protection, and ways to discount or generate mana for those power-up activations, especially spells that untap lands or generate extra blue mana.
Win through a combination of evasive commander damage and time manipulation. Kang dodges most removal, and each power-up turn accelerates his clock while denying opponents their chance to respond. You'll fill the deck with effects that smooth mana production (especially blue), protect your commander from disruption, and take advantage of the extra turns you generate—card draw during those turns, artifact synergies to discount future power-ups, and bounce/blink effects to reset his cost reduction. This is a midrange shell that gradually becomes oppressive rather than explosive; the longer the game goes, the more unstoppable Kang becomes.

Skip expensive blue lands like Mana Crypt; use Surveillance Room, Baxter Building, and basic Islands instead. Replace Timetwister with Hex Magic or Wheel of Fate for budget wheel effects.
