Nemesis Cycle by Psyga315

Format: Commander

Commander: Selenia, Dark Angel

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Selenia, Dark Angel is a life-payment engine and evasive threat in a midrange Orzhov build that converts paid life into bursts of life gain via Tainted Sigil and Sorin of House Markov. The primary plan is to develop mana with signets and medallions, use Selenia plus removal to survive, then finish with a huge Debt to the Deathless or transform Sorin for a 38-point burst while flying attacks close the game. Secondary paths include The Darkness Crystal stealing opposing creatures, Athreos recursion, and Inkshield tokens. There is no hidden commander; Sorin is a value lieutenant, not the build-around. The deck is slow and vulnerable to fast combos but can grind out attrition wins.
