Doran, toughness is my strengh by user1071701

Format: Commander

Commander: Doran, Besieged by Time

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a toughness-matters combat deck built around Doran, Besieged by Time. The commander's cost reduction makes high-toughness Treefolk and friends cheap, and its attack/block trigger turns 0/5s into 5/10s. The primary plan is to resolve a toughness-damage enabler-Assault Formation, Bedrock Tortoise, Ancient Lumberknot, or the hidden commander Doran, the Siege Tower-then attack with huge toughness creatures, using trample and Unnatural Growth to push lethal damage. Secondary paths are Betor's end-step half-life drain, Strixhaven Stadium's counter win, and mass recursion from Eerie Ultimatum. The deck is a midrange battlecruiser that wins through repeated combat rather than a compact combo.
