Grenzo by TheGreatDak

Format: Commander

Commander: Grenzo, Dungeon Warden

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Grenzo, Dungeon Warden heads a rakdos combo-reanimator deck that uses its activated ability as a reusable card-advantage engine to dump creatures into play from the bottom of the library. The primary plan is to assemble infinite or near-infinite death/ETB loops with persist creatures, sacrifice outlets, and bottom-of-library recursion, then close with Blood Artist/Zulaport Cutthroat/Mayhem Devil style drain or Sling-Gang/Siege-Gang pings. Secondary paths include Kiki-Jiki + Zealous Conscripts/Restoration lines, Goblin Recruiter combos, and artifact-based recursion through Goblin Engineer/Welder. Both faces of Grenzo are analyzed: the front face is the commander used; there is no double-faced card in this decklist, so the analysis applies to the single face.
