Commander: Bartolomé del Presidio

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Bartolome del Presidio leads an Orzhov aristocrats/reanimator deck that weaponizes the graveyard twice over: it mills itself aggressively, then cashes in that depth with a dense reanimation suite. The commander is the linchpin - a cheap, instant-speed sacrifice outlet that turns recursive permanents into death triggers, +1/+1 counters, and eventually a table kill. The primary win is the Sun Titan loop: Sun Titan enters with a return-aura (Kaya's Ghostform, Minion's Return, Fungal Fortitude, Necrogen Communion, or Angelic Renewal) re-attached, Bartolome sacrifices it, the aura returns it, and the infinite death triggers drain the table through Zulaport Cutthroat, Bastion of Remembrance, Marionette Apprentice, and Agent of the Iron Throne. Secondary plans are commander damage on a heavily pumped Bartolome through Rogue's Passage and value beats from reanimated Angels. The deck's identity is a careful balance of self-mill density, recursion redundancy, and sacrifice economics - at the cost of near-zero stack interaction and deep graveyard exposure.
