9 Fingers up your Gates by Cabelos

Format: Commander

Commander: Nine-Fingers Keene

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Nine-Fingers Keene is a Gates-matter value engine: she attacks to put Gates into play and cycles through the library once the Gate count is high. The primary route is to assemble ten differently named Gates and win with Maze's End, using Nine-Fingers, Gate tutors, and mass land spells such as Reshape the Earth, Scapeshift, and Through the Forest Gate. A hidden alternate win is commander voltron with Blackblade Reforged, Fireshrieker, Whispersilk Cloak, and Basilisk Gate, turning Nine-Fingers into a one-shot threat. Landfall payoffs like Scute Swarm and Ob Nixilis provide a backup beatdown plan. The build is deliberate and mid-speed, trading early aggression for consistency and a large land base.
