Commander: Shadow the Hedgehog

Bracket: 5

Deck overview

Shadow the Hedgehog is a Rakdos fast-combo deck that uses artifact mana, rituals, and tutors to assemble a two- or three-card kill before opponents can stabilize. The commander is a haste enabler and card-draw engine: whenever a flash/haste creature dies, including Shadow, it draws, and artifact-mana-fueled spells gain split second via Chaos Control, making the combo turn effectively uncounterable. Primary kills are Dualcaster Mage with copy spells making infinite hasty tokens, Underworld Breach + Lion's Eye Diamond + Grinding Station/Wheel loops, and Birgi/Storm-Kiln generating storm for Grapeshot or Aetherflux Reservoir. The deck is low to the ground, with almost all spells at 0-2 mana and a heavy tutor density.
