Bard, King of Dale by PrnHbHero

Format: Commander

Commander: Bard, King of Dale

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Azorius control deck turns symmetrical draw effects into an overwhelming asymmetric engine. The primary commander Bard, King of Dale doubles every non-turn draw step draw and doubles every token created. You exploit group hug draw artifacts like Howling Mine and Font of Mythos alongside draw-second-card payoffs like Nadir Kraken, Homunculus Horde, and Prince Imrahil the Fair. While stax pieces such as Propaganda and Sphere of Safety keep you alive, you churn through your library to win by emptying your deck with Laboratory Maniac or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, or by swarming opponents with a doubled token army.
