Commander: Minn, Wily Illusionist

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Minn, Wily Illusionist leads a mono-blue draw-trigger deck that turns cantrips and draw spells into Illusion tokens, then uses those tokens' deaths as a cheat-into-play engine for expensive permanents such as Omniscience and One with the Multiverse. The primary plan is card advantage and value; secondary paths are Psychosis Crawler drain and The Mindskinner mill. Talrand and Murmuring Mystic add token density, while Teferi's Ageless Insight and Skullclamp multiply both draws and death triggers. There is no hidden commander; The Mindskinner acts as an alternate finisher and Gogo, Master of Mimicry as a trigger multiplier.
