Graveyard Smash by user6278315

Format: Commander

Commander: Celes, Rune Knight

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Celes, Rune Knight leads an aggressive Mardu reanimator and aristocrats engine. Celes acts as both a discard outlet and hand-refresher in the command zone, while buffing your board whenever creatures return from the graveyard. The deck uses self-mill, discard, and targeted graveyard tutors to bin high-impact creatures and recursion loops. You win primarily by looping reanimation triggers with sacrifice outlets to drain the table with Blood Artist, Syr Konrad, the Grim, and Elas il-Kor. Secondary wins come from overwhelming combat damage powered by Celes team-wide counter distribution and Anger-fueled haste.
