Raffine & a Dream by sleepy

Format: Commander

Commander: Raffine, Scheming Seer

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Raffine, Scheming Seer is the engine of an Esper tempo-reanimator deck. The primary plan is to attack with evasive creatures, use Raffine's connive trigger to draw and discard, then convert those discards into value through Hashaton, Archfiend of Ifnir, Cryptcaller Chariot, and reanimation spells. Secondary paths are a go-wide token finish with Adeline and Knowledge Is Power, and a mass-reanimation turn with Living Death. Hashaton acts as a hidden commander, turning every discarded creature into a 4/4 copy. The deck wins by repeated combat, not by combo, and relies on card advantage and recursion to outlast opponents.
