Raffine Connive by Grymm33

Format: Commander

Commander: Raffine, Scheming Seer

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Raffine, Scheming Seer leads an Esper connive/reanimator build. The deck fills its graveyard by attacking with small evasive creatures and looting, then breaks parity with reanimation spells and discard payoffs such as Cryptcaller Chariot and Archfiend of Ifnir. The commander both generates card selection and grows attackers; the primary finish is a Drogskol Reaver plus Queza, Augur of Agonies loop that drains every opponent once Reaver connects. Secondary lines are reanimating Archon of Cruelty or Sphinx of the Steel Wind and beating down with flying threats. Hashaton, Scarab's Fist provides an out-of-the-yard backup that doesn't need Raffine.
