Bullet for my Valentine by user3969820

Format: Commander

Commander: Vincent Valentine // Galian Beast

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This deck uses Vincent Valentine to turn opposing creature deaths into lethal commander damage. Early turns focus on deploying mana acceleration and sacrifice engines like Braids, Arisen Nightmare or Black Market Connections. Once Vincent enters, symmetric sacrifice effects such as Plaguecrafter, Fleshbag-style creatures, and Grave Pact wipe opposing boards while feeding +1/+1 counters to Vincent based on the power of dying creatures. Vincent attacks and transforms into Galian Beast, gaining trample and lifelink to trample over blockers and gain massive life. Secondary win conditions include big mana Torment of Hailfire, Gray Merchant of Asphodel bursts, and life drain triggers from Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose.
