Ezuri, Claw on a Budget (EDH / Commander)

The goal of this deck is to add many different win conditions to create a deck with multiple strategies on a budget. It consists of 5 distinct win cons and, while always a creature-based deck, can run spread wide or focused.

The main benefit of this commander is the ability to place a number of +1/+1 counters consistently every turn. Aside from creating a large monster of a creature, some are able to add additional value to certain creatures. The value generated is as follows:
Extra Turns - Sage of Hours
Land Ramp - Fertilid
Mana Ramp - Gyre Sage, Viridian Joiner
Card Draw - Etched Oracle, Fathom Mage
Control Magic - Simic Manipulator
Creatures - Pentavus
Regeneration - Experiment One
Damage Prevention - Undergrowth Champion

The win conditions available to this build includes: combat damage, commander damage, milling, infect and combo. The main win of this build is the combo win of infinite turns with Sage of Hours or infinite bounces with Deadeye Navigator / Peregrine Drake. Sage of Hours is a one-card combo with the commander, as long as you have 6 experience counters, which allows for 6 +1/+1 counters to be placed on Sage of Hours at the beginning of every combat step. Bring to Light and Hibernation's End allow for the sage to be tutored out with relative ease. The three damage wins are rather straight forward, with Forgotten Ancient, Bioshift and Elder of Laurels to pump Ezuri, while Blight Mamba is used as the resilient infect threat. Ambassador Laquatus and Altar of Dementia can use large mana and creatures created by this build to mill pillow fort and greedy draw builds.

As the deck is creature-based, it does have problems with wraths and exile effects. This is mitigated with Eldrazi Monument and the numerous sacrifice effects, to either prevent the removal or gain value from soon-to-be dead forces.

This build is from cards available during Shadows over Innistrad.
