Commander: Bilbo, Thief in the Night

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a mono-blue equipment/value deck built around Bilbo, Thief in the Night. Bilbo is a two-mana engine: spells cast outside the hand cost 1 less, and on each attack he recurs an artifact, instant, or sorcery from the graveyard. The main path is to equip Bilbo with unblockable and pump equipment-Bilbo's Ring, Orcrist, and Sting-and finish by commander damage. Counterspells and instant-speed bounce clear blockers and protect the engine. Bilbo, Luckwearer // Burglar's Plot acts as a hidden backup attacker and looter that can carry the same equipment if the commander is removed. There is no infinite combo; wins are incremental and heavily artifact-dependent.
