Kenrith is a five-color goodstuff commander whose activated abilities turn excess mana into card draw, lifegain, reanimation, counters, and a global trample/haste alpha-strike enabler. You ramp into a powerful midrange or combo board, then sink mana into Kenrith to grind out advantage or close games, while his open color identity lets you run literally any card or combo you want.
Access to all five colors means no card is off-limits and your answers/threats are best-in-class
On-board mana sink that scales infinitely with ramp and cost-reduction effects
The ability is a hidden finisher, granting your whole team trample and haste for a surprise lethal swing
reanimation and draw let you grind into the late game against attrition decks
Extremely flexible—can be built as combo, midrange, group hug, or superfriends
No inherent combo or game-winning ability on the card itself, so the deck must supply its own engine
Mana-hungry; abilities are inefficient without acceleration or untap loops
Five-color manabase is expensive and can stumble without fixing
High-profile commander draws removal and is often a known quantity at tables
Can play as a pile of value with no focused plan if poorly built
Pairs with Kenrith's trample/haste grant for infect or overwhelming token-based kills.
Tighten the deck around a single backbone—either a fast combo line (Food Chain, infinite mana to draw the deck) or an explosive ramp-into-bombs plan—rather than playing a directionless value pile. Upgrade the manabase with all fetchlands, duals, and fast mana like Mana Crypt, Jeweled Lotus, and Smothering Tithe, then add efficient tutors (Demonic, Vampiric, Mystical) to find your wincon consistently. Prioritize cheap interaction (Swords to Plowshares, Force of Will, Swan Song) to protect your engine in faster pods.
