The Saga Of Garnet by Dork6660

Format: Commander

Commander: Garnet, Princess of Alexandria

Deck overview

This deck is an aggro-midrange build centered on Garnet, Princess of Alexandria, utilizing Sagas and +1/+1 counter synergies to overwhelm opponents in combat. Garnet's attack trigger removes lore counters from active Sagas, preventing them from sacrificing while repeatedly harvesting beneficial early chapter abilities and growing Garnet with +1/+1 counters and lifelink. The supporting 99 features a broad suite of Saga creatures such as Summon: Titan, Summon: Fenrir, and Summon: Ixion, backed by combat tricks like Aspect of Hydra and Blitzball Shot. The deck operates on a fair combat clock, deploying its commander on Turn 2, assembling a Saga by Turn 3, and establishing must-answer board pressure by Turn 6. While the deck boasts solid protection spells like Make a Stand and Wrap in Vigor to resist destruction board wipes, it lacks tutors, fast mana, and combo lines, relying on natural top-decks to close the game across sequential attack steps.
