Format: Commander

Commander: Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines is the centerpiece of a mono-white ETB-value and stax hybrid. The deck wins by doubling every enters-the-battlefield trigger-from tutors to token makers to removal creatures-and turning the resulting army into an indestructible, flying, double-striking swarm. A suite of blink effects (Ephemerate, Teleportation Circle, Conjurer's Closet) recycles value pieces and protects the commander. Secondary plans include an Armageddon lock with Avacyn/Angel of Hope or indestructible golems, and a transform board wipe with Elesh Norn // The Argent Etchings. Panharmonicon and Delney act as hidden engine commanders. It is a mid-speed engine deck that needs to assemble two or three key permanents before it can close.
