Into the Deep (Check)

Format: Commander

Commander: Dungeon Delver and Safana, Calimport Cutthroat

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a UB initiative/dungeon deck that uses Safana, Calimport Cutthroat as a Treasure engine and Dungeon Delver to double room-ability triggers. The primary plan is to take the initiative, complete a dungeon quickly, then convert Safana's triple Treasure end step and Rilsa Rael's +5/+0 combat buff into a Rogue beatdown. Secondary paths are a value grind with Panharmonicon and Virtue of Knowledge doubling venture triggers, plus a spell-copying finish with Tomb of Horrors Adventurer and Rite of Replication. Rilsa Rael functions as the hidden combat commander, turning completed-dungeon rewards into lethal attacks.
