Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy cEDH stats

How it plays & wins

Kinnan is a mana-doubling tempo deck built around cheap mana rocks and creatures: Sol Ring, Mana Vault, the Monoliths, the Moxen, Birds of Paradise and the elves all produce extra mana with Kinnan out. It runs a heavy free-spell suite, including Force of Will, Fierce Guardianship, Force of Negation, Misdirection and Pact of Negation, so it can develop while holding up protection. Rhystic Study, Mystic Remora and Consecrated Sphinx supply card advantage, and Chord of Calling, Green Sun's Zenith, Whir of Invention and Transmute Artifact find the right piece.

The list shows no clear infinite combo, so I can't point to a single scripted kill. The most likely route is a resolved top-end threat like Hullbreaker Horror or Nezahal, Primal Tide, backed by counterspells and a flood of mana and cards, followed by a few attack steps. Clones such as Mockingbird and Clever Impersonator add flexibility. It's a grindy, interaction-heavy approach rather than a combo finish.
