Council of Four by Roxner13

Format: Commander

Commander: The Council of Four

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an Azorius draw-go control deck built around The Council of Four, converting every opponent's second draw and second spell each turn into cards and 2/2 Knight tokens. The deck leans on premium tax draw engines - Rhystic Study, Mystic Remora, and Esper Sentinel - alongside symmetric draw pieces like Howling Mine, Dictate of Kruphix, and Temple Bell to force the commander's triggers. It controls the table with a dense instant-speed suite of removal and counterspells, and the pillowfort of Ghostly Prison and Propaganda keeps the 0/8 commander and its engine safe. The primary win is Approach of the Second Sun: cast it, let the flood of card draw find it again, and recast for the win. Backups include Psychosis Crawler draining with Teferi's Ageless Insight, a Hullbreaker Horror lock, and a token swarm pushed by Akroma's Will. This is a slow, value-dense control deck that wins through inevitability rather than speed.
