Kraum Vial by syntheticapriori

Format: Commander

Commander: Kraum, Ludevic's Opus and Vial Smasher the Fierce

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Grixis partner deck is built to turn spellcasting into life loss. Vial Smasher the Fierce provides a high-impact hit for the first spell each turn, while Kraum supplies steady card draw; the real engine is a cluster of 'whenever you cast a spell' payoffs - Guttersnipe, Fiery Inscription, Black Waltz No. 3, and Vivi Ornitier - that chip every opponent. The Emperor of Palamecia can transform into a late-game finisher, and Neheb, the Eternal plus Exsanguinate offers a burst finish. Obosh doubles odd-mana damage when he resolves. The plan is incremental: develop mana and draw, land two or three damage triggers, then fire multiple cheap instants and sorceries each turn until the table is dead.
