Commander: Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker and Vial Smasher the Fierce

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a four-color (WUBR) partner deck helmed by Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker and Vial Smasher the Fierce, built around a dense "whenever you cast a noncreature spell" payoff suite. The primary plan is to chain instants, sorceries, and enchantments to trigger Vial Smasher's random burn alongside Whirlwind of Thought, Y'shtola, Night's Blessed, Papalymo Totolymo, Black Waltz No. 3, Tellah, Great Sage, and Shantotto, Tactician Magician - each cast drains opponents and draws cards. The deck finishes through cumulative burn, a Tellah, Great Sage sacrifice for X damage to each opponent, or combat bursts from All-Out Assault, Blade of Selves, and Seifer Almasy. A suite of MDFC "Dominant" creatures (Clive, Ifrit's Dominant, Dion, Bahamut's Dominant, Jecht, Reluctant Guardian, Kefka, Court Mage) transform into powerful Sagas for value, removal, and recursion.
