Lizard Illuminati, The by TrezFlare

Format: Commander

Commander: Gor Muldrak, Amphinologist

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Simic "creature type politics" deck helmed by Gor Muldrak, Amphinologist, built around a clever interaction loop: the commander grants you and your permanents protection from Salamanders, while you use creature type changers like Unnatural Selection, Artificial Evolution, Imagecrafter, and Standardize to turn opponents' creatures into Salamanders. This renders their board unable to block or target your side, creating a one-sided combat advantage. The deck generates a steady stream of 4/3 Salamander tokens from Gor Muldrak's end-step trigger, which you supplement with card draw engines tied to combat damage (Edric, Spymaster of Trest, Toski, Bearer of Secrets, Bident of Thassa). The primary win condition is a critical mass of unblockable tokens finished with Triumph of the Hordes granting infect and trample, though Cultural Exchange can steal key threats. Backup plans include copying creatures via Spark Double and Sakashima of a Thousand Faces to overwhelming board presence.
