Myrkul, Lord of Bones

Format: Commander

Commander: Myrkul, Lord of Bones

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Abzan deck uses Myrkul, Lord of Bones to turn creatures that die into permanent enchantment tokens. You build a board of value creatures and aristocrats, sacrifice them for profit, and let Myrkul exile them to create enchantment copies that stay on the battlefield and trigger constellation and drain effects. The main win is grinding opponents down with repeated death triggers from Blood Artist, Bastion of Remembrance, Elas il-Kor, Syr Konrad and similar effects. A secondary infinite-mana line with Devoted Druid and Myrkul can fuel Syr Konrad's mill ability. Myrkul acts as both engine and combo piece. Syr Konrad and Bolas's Citadel serve as hidden commanders that provide the actual payoff and card advantage.
