Commander: Baral, Chief of Compliance

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Baral, Chief of Compliance pilots a mono-blue draw-go control deck. The primary plan is to combine cost reducers (Baral, Haughty Djinn, Sapphire Medallion) with a dense stack of counterspells and cantrips, converting every instant/sorcery cast into cards and evasive tokens. The main win line is a deterministic extra-turn loop using Isochron Scepter imprinted with Narset's Reversal plus Time Warp, with Laboratory Maniac, Hullbreaker Horror + Sol Ring, and a token beatdown as backups. Baral's role is to reduce spell costs and turn each counter into card filtering. There is no hidden commander; Malevolent Hermit and Hydroelectric Specimen serve as protection and utility pieces.
