Notes
 
This is my Progenitus Commander deck. I built it to be a work of art that also wins games as a sidenote.

This deck is built around a few artistic/style rules:

* Every card is **foil**.
* Every non-land, non-artifact card is **multi-colored, gold-bordered**.
* Every creature card is **legendary**.
* Every card is in the **"M15" card frame** (sets from M15 up to Dominaria).

These rules combine to make one **gorgeous** Commander deck. Every card is double sleeved, with metallic gold outer sleeves. The deck is housed in a **hand-made leather deck box** (which smells *amazing*, by the way) with a sturdy metal clasp. It's played on a Steve Argyle playmat with the art from Mayael's Aria. This art was chosen because it features Progenitus in the background. Both Mayael's Aria and Mayael the Anima are present in the deck as a sort of artistic sub-theme.

Here is a gallery of pictures: https://photos.app.goo.gl/DFb7RYhcwtKfxR276. (I realize I screwed up alphabetizing a few of them in the pictures.) If you would like detail pictures of a specific card, let me know.

Strategically, the deck contains lots of threats to draw out removal and counterspells from your opponents (leaving the path open for Progenitus), things which key off of legendary creatures, a good amount of situational cards like board wipes and counterspells, then pieces which combo with Progenitus himself. The mana base uses the full cycle of "shock lands", "check lands", and "tri-lands", plus a number of 5-color lands and mana rocks.

Here's the full decklist, listed alphabetically, with sets:

* Aethermage's Touch - Dissension (Foil)

Some notable combinations or synergies:

* The mana base makes it nearly guaranteed you can cast Progenitus when you hit 10 mana.
* Aurelia, the Warleader + any buff to Progenitus's power (like Collective Blessing) makes Progenitus attack for lethal Commander damage in one turn (over two combat phases).
* Captain Sisay can tutor for any creature in the deck.
* Conflux can tutor for almost any 5 cards in the deck, due to how the colors overlap.
* Finest Hour makes Progenitus attack for lethal Commander damage in one turn (over two combat phases) if he attacks alone during one of those combat phases, or if he has any buff to power (like Collective Blessing)/
* Gisela, Blade of Goldnight + any buff to Progenitus's power (like Collective Blessing) makes Progenitus attack for lethal Commander damage.
* Heroes' Podium acts like a 1-sided Coat of Arms for the deck, plus it gives a mana dump for some library filtering.
* Kaalia of the Vast's triggered ability can hit 8 creatures in the deck (8%).
* Mayael's Aria + Heroes' Podium work well together to approach victory quickly.
* Mayael the Anima's activated ability can hit 11 creatures in the deck (11%), giving it a roughly 55% chance of hitting one within 5 cards.
* Medomai the Ageless + any buff to Progenitus's power (like Collective Blessing) makes Progenitus attack for lethal Commander damage over two back-to-back turns.
* Mirari's Wake lets you cast Progenitus on 5 lands.
* Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx breaks even with its second activated ability if you have Progenitus and any other colored permanent in the deck on the battlefield.
* Plasm Capture countering a 5-CMC spell can get you Progenitus on turn 5.
* Rafiq of the Many makes Progenitus attack for lethal Commander damage if he attacks alone.
* Sigarda, Host of Herons prevents one of the two most common ways of dealing with Progenitus once he on the battlefield (you can't be forced to sacrifice him, leaving only board wipes or some weird non-targeted effects).

All cards would be New or Like New condition. They have been kept double sleeved since they were bought, except for the few I took out for pictures today to show condition.
