Legendary Cycle by Psyga315

Format: Commander

Commander: Nicol Bolas

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Built around old-school Grixis control, this deck's primary plan is to use Walls and instant-speed Glyphs to survive the early game, then close with commander damage from Nicol Bolas. The commander is a late-game finisher and hand-disruption engine: his damage empties hands, and Waste Not converts that discard into mana, cards, and Zombie tokens. Evil Eye of Orms-by-Gore acts as a hidden commander, supported by Walls and the Eye's unblockable clause. Secondary paths are flying beatdown from Fallen Angel and a small Kobold lord package. There are no combos; speed comes from artifact ramp and cost reducers.
