Format: Commander

Commander: Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph is the deck's damage multiplier: nearly every pinger and 1-damage spell becomes 3 damage to each opponent or 2 extra damage to a target. The primary plan is to land Ghyrson, deploy cheap spell-trigger pingers, and burn the table while cantrips dig. The main finishing line is Niv-Mizzet, Parun plus Curiosity or Ophidian Eye, where any draw turns into a lethal loop; Ghyrson makes each Niv ping 3. A second loop uses Molten-Core Maestro with buyback Searing Touch once enough red mana is generated. Counterspells, free protection, and one-sided bounce cover the assembly. Without his commander, the burn plan loses reach, but the Niv combo still wins.
