Progenitus: The Soul of the World Returns

Story:

In the dawn of creation, before the first mortals set foot upon the land, there existed a being of unimaginable power—Progenitus, the Hydra Avatar. Born from the essence of the multiverse itself, Progenitus was the embodiment of all five colors of magic, a primal force of balance and devastation. Its mere presence rippled across planes, reshaping the fabric of existence and instilling awe and terror in those who glimpsed its form.

For eons, Progenitus slumbered beneath the earth, its power bound by the ancient forces that feared its wrath. But the world had grown chaotic, fractured by the greed of mortals and the warring factions of magic. The balance was broken, and Progenitus—the Soul of the World—stirred once more.

The skies darkened as an unnatural storm gathered above a distant mountain range. Thunder roared, and lightning forked across the heavens, illuminating the colossal figure emerging from the earth. Progenitus’s five heads, each glowing with the colors of mana, rose into the sky. Its roar shook the land, and its eyes burned with the light of creation and destruction.

The armies of mortals gathered, their banners flying and their spells at the ready. But what could swords and sorcery do against a being with protection from everything? Progenitus moved with divine purpose, its heads unleashing waves of energy that obliterated all who dared to stand in its way. Spells fizzled into nothingness, weapons shattered upon its scales, and the land itself bent to its will.

As Progenitus advanced, it left behind a world reshaped, its power carving rivers, raising mountains, and planting forests in its wake. Those who survived spoke of its grandeur, its perfection, and its terrifying indifference. Progenitus did not seek to conquer; it sought to restore, to return the world to its primal balance. And so, it vanished into the horizon, a force too vast for mortals to comprehend, leaving only whispers of its presence.

Deck Highlights:

• Progenitus: The ultimate expression of power, with protection from everything and an ability to return to the library instead of the graveyard, making it nearly impossible to remove permanently.
• Mana Ramp: With a costly mana value of WUBRGWUBRG (two of each color), your deck must focus on mana acceleration. Cards like Cultivate, Kodama’s Reach, Chromatic Lantern, and Dryad of the Ilysian Grove ensure you have access to all five colors.
• Command Tower: A staple for any five-color deck, ensuring consistent mana production.
• The World Tree: Grants access to all colors of mana and allows a powerful late-game ability to summon all creatures of a chosen type.
• Fist of Suns: Reduces Progenitus’s cost to just five mana, making it much easier to cast.
• Omnath, Locus of All: Provides additional mana fixing and synergizes well with the deck’s multicolor theme.
• Maelstrom Nexus: Introduces cascade, allowing you to cast additional spells as you prepare to bring Progenitus onto the battlefield.
• Prismatic Omen: Ensures all your lands produce every color of mana.
• Realmwalker: Enables you to play creatures from the top of your library, maintaining your momentum.
• Avenger of Zendikar: Combines well with your ramp strategy to flood the battlefield with plant tokens.

Playstyle Tips:

• Ramp Early: Progenitus is a late-game threat, so focus on building a stable mana base in the early turns.
• Defend Yourself: Use spells like Swords to Plowshares and creatures like Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite to stall opponents while you prepare.
• Finish with Progenitus: Once your mana base is established, unleash Progenitus to dominate the battlefield. Its massive size, evasion, and protection make it nearly unstoppable.

Every step of the journey leads to summoning this awe-inspiring Hydra Avatar, whose presence alone can reshape the game. Will you channel the balance of all five colors, or will your opponents fall before the embodiment of perfection? The world’s soul is in your hands.
