Grave Matters by Multif

Format: Commander

Commander: Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy and Scion of Halaster

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Dimir spellslinger deck, helmed by Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy with the Scion of Halaster Background, is a tight graveyard-combo/control hybrid. The primary game plan is to fill the graveyard through cantrips, Scion's selection ability, and self-mill, then win via Doomsday into Thassa's Oracle. Secondary lines include chaining extra turns with Temporal Manipulation recurred through Gale, and the Naru Meha, Master Wizard + Ghostly Flicker loop. The deck uses a dense suite of cost reducers (Baral, Chief of Compliance, Haughty Djinn, Archmage of Runes) and repeatable draw engines (Ledger Shredder, Nezahal, Primal Tide, Shadow of the Second Sun) to outpace opponents and find its combo pieces. It is a focused, high-velocity deck that trades raw speed for robust interaction and resilience.
