Strategy
Thanos is a flexible control-combo commander that scales from a 4/4 body with evasion into a board-wipe engine. His power-up ability is a one-shot that gets cheaper the turn he enters—potentially free if you play him as a fresh threat. You choose odd or even, then destroy all other creatures matching that mana value, letting you surgically remove threats or blow up wide token strategies. The deck builds around protecting Thanos, ramping into that five-color activation, and using the mana fixing to cast powerful spells. You win by resolving the power-up multiple times, establishing control, then swinging in with a fortified commander or chaining together destruction effects until opponents run out of gas.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip Moxen and use Gleaming Bastion, Dark Fortress, Hidden Lair, and Gathering Place as cheap mana-fixing lands. Replace pricey tutors with Baxter Building and Avengers Tower for Villain/Hero synergy on a budget.
