Battle of Whtz by BizPhish

Format: Commander

Commander: Whtz, the Bibliophile

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This deck is a massive Azorius control list helmed by Whtz, the Bibliophile, whose ability becomes a free draw-and-life engine thanks to the deck size exceeding 200 cards. The deck includes 35 copies of Hare Apparent for redundancy and uses symmetrical draw effects to fuel multiple alternate win conditions: Approach of the Second Sun, Test of Endurance, Twenty-Toed Toad, and Battle of Wits. The game plan is to deploy card draw engines, pillowfort, and heavy interaction while slowly accumulating resources until one of the win conditions can be executed. The deck is highly interactive but wins through slow, inevitability-based lines.
