Modular & Artifact Synergy - Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp - Custom Commander Deck

This Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp deck is an artifact-focused, modular deck centered around synergies with +1/+1 counters, artifact recursion, and explosive finishing moves. Here's how the deck functions and what makes it exciting:

Deck Strategy Overview:

• Modular Madness: This deck revolves around the Modular keyword, which allows artifact creatures to share their +1/+1 counters when they die. Key modular creatures like Arcbound Ravager, Arcbound Crusher, and Arcbound Overseer work together to create large, growing threats. Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp is your perfect commander here, doubling the +1/+1 counters your modular creatures accumulate, giving you explosive board presence when those counters start stacking.

• Sacrifice Synergies: The deck leans heavily into sacrificing artifacts for value, with cards like Goblin Welder, Scrap Trawler, and Feldon of the Third Path helping you bring back important artifacts from your graveyard to continue gaining value. Throne of Geth enables repeated proliferate triggers to grow your counters even more.

• Counter Doubling: The Ozolith ensures you never lose your precious counters, transferring them when your creatures die. Coupled with Energy Chamber and Crystalline Crawler, you can add more counters and fuel your mana base or increase your creature size rapidly.

Key Card Synergies:

• All Will Be One: This enchantment allows you to deal damage to any target equal to the number of +1/+1 counters placed on your creatures or artifacts, making this deck incredibly dangerous once your counters start stacking.

• Arcbound Ravager (Foreign Print): One of the most powerful modular creatures in the deck. Even though it's printed in a foreign language, its ability to sacrifice artifacts and grow stronger or redistribute counters makes it a central combo piece.

• Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp: Zabaz allows you to double your modular counters and provides valuable utility for your creatures. Zabaz's destruction ability also gives you the flexibility to target your own creatures, triggering modular effects when you need them.

• Sun Titan & Wake the Past: These cards help you recover from board wipes or removal-heavy games by bringing back key artifacts or enchantments, allowing you to keep the pressure on your opponents.

• Cathars’ Crusade: Each time a modular creature enters the battlefield or one of your creatures dies and the counters are passed on, this card adds more +1/+1 counters to all your creatures, which can result in massive creatures rapidly taking over the board.

Recursion & Protection:

• Osgir, the Reconstructor and Losheel, Clockwork Scholar add consistency and resilience to the deck by allowing you to use your graveyard as a resource, bringing back valuable creatures and artifacts for reuse.

• Darksteel Mutation, Path to Exile, and Dispatch ensure you have efficient ways to handle opposing threats, keeping the board in check while you build up your artifact army.

• Skullclamp: A staple in any artifact-based deck, this card pairs perfectly with modular creatures, giving you card draw whenever you sacrifice smaller creatures like Myr Scrapling or Arcbound Worker.

Win Conditions:

• Portal to Phyrexia: This can be a back-breaking play in the late game, forcing opponents to sacrifice creatures and then letting you steal creatures from their graveyards to further control the board.

• Goblin Bombardment: Sacrifice creatures at will for direct damage, which can easily help you finish off opponents, especially when paired with large modular creatures.

• Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion: Double strike can make one of your massive modular creatures a game-ending threat, especially after piling on counters.

Disclaimers:

• The deck comes sleeved and boxed, ready to play.
