Combining unblockable damage, snowballing +1/+1 counters, and an instant-speed win condition directly in the command zone creates one of the most lethal competitive shells in Commander. On Moxfield’s high-power and cEDH Partner charts, pairing Cazur, Ruthless Stalker with Ukkima, Stalking Shadow forms the feared Sultai () „Food Chain Shadow“ engine.
As a 3/3 Human Warrior costing four mana (), Cazur puts a +1/+1 counter on any creature you control whenever it deals combat damage to a player. Paired with Ukkima, a 2/2 unblockable Whale Wolf that drains opponents for its power whenever it leaves the battlefield, Cazur pumps Ukkima into a terrifying combat threat. Crucially, Ukkima acts as a primary payoff for Food Chain: infinitely exiling and recasting Ukkima from the command zone drains the entire table instantly for infinite damage.
Here is the strategic operational blueprint of Moxfield’s premier Cazur & Ukkima list, detailing how to pivot seamlessly between unblockable combat pressure and instant Food Chain combo finishes.
1. Core Mechanics & Strategic Phases
Succeeding with Cazur & Ukkima requires fast mana acceleration, efficient creature tutors, exile-cast creatures, and counter-spell protection across Sultai colors.
-
Early Game (Turns 1–2): Accelerate your mana using dorks like Birds of Paradise, Noble Hierarch, and fast artifacts, or tutor exile-cast pieces using Manipulate Fate.
-
Mid Game (Turns 3–4): Deploy Ukkima, Stalking Shadow and Cazur, Ruthless Stalker to begin dealing unblockable damage while growing your board with +1/+1 counters, holding up free interaction.
-
Late Game (Turns 5+): Assemble the Food Chain engine with Misthollow Griffin, Eternal Scourge, or Squee, the Immortal. Generate infinite creature mana, cast Ukkima endlessly from the command zone, and drain all opponents to zero.
2. Moxfield Highlights: The Stalking Shadow Engine
The highest-rated community lists on Moxfield optimize Cazur & Ukkima by structuring the deck around the Food Chain combo line alongside low-cost Sultai interaction and unblockable combat options.
Food Chain + Misthollow Griffin / Eternal Scourge
The primary win engine. Exiling Misthollow Griffin or Eternal Scourge to Food Chain yields more mana than required to recast them from exile. Repeating this generates infinite creature-only mana, which is then funneled into casting and exiling Ukkima from the command zone indefinitely.
Manipulate Fate
The single-card Food Chain enabler. Manipulate Fate searches your library for up to three creature cards, exiles them, and draws a card. Exiling Misthollow Griffin and Eternal Scourge directly guarantees your combo pieces are accessible without risking card disadvantage.
Thassa’s Oracle + Demonic Consultation / Tainted Pact
The secondary compact win condition. Sultai access provides a seamless backup line that bypasses enchantment removal or Food Chain disruption.
Fierce Guardianship / Veil of Summer
Command zone protection. Having cheap commanders keeps free interaction like Fierce Guardianship active early to protect your combo attempts or shield Cazur during attack phases.
