Commander: Skullbriar, the Walking Grave

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Skullbriar is an early haste creature that grows by one +1/+1 counter on every successful hit; the deck is built almost entirely around turning that damage into a lethal commander-damage threat. It uses unblockable and trample effects, counter multipliers such as Hydra's Growth and Court of Garenbrig, and a dense draw package to keep the plan moving. Counters persist through the command zone, so the strategy is easy to restart after removal. Secondary pathways include Jarad's fling-style sacrifice finish, Ezuri's Predation board swing, and a handful of large counter-based backups. There is no hidden commander; Reyhan is only a supportive piece in the 99, not an alternate leader.
