Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck is a Jund "bad gift" combo-control strategy helmed by The Beamtown Bullies. The primary game plan is to fill the graveyard with creatures that have devastating negative effects on their controller (Leveler, Eater of Days, Inverter of Truth, Master of Cruelties, etc.) and then use the commander's activated ability to put those creatures onto the battlefield under an opponent's control, goaded and with haste. The creature's lethal trigger (exiling the opponent's library, skipping their turns, or reducing their life total) immediately cripples that player, and the goad forces them to attack into the table. The deck wins by eliminating each opponent one by one over the turn cycle, using untap engines (Seedborn Muse, Awakening, Magewright's Stone) to re-use the commander multiple times per round. Secondary lines include combat damage from the commander itself, but the primary win condition is the "gift" chain.
