Kenrith, The Politician by FaustsAccord

Format: Commander

Commander: Kenrith, the Returned King

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a five-color "Council's Dilemma" voting deck helmed by Kenrith, the Returned King. The primary plan is to deploy a dense package of voting cards - Tivit, Seller of Secrets, Ballot Broker, Brago's Representative, The Valeyard, and Illusion of Choice - to rig votes in your favor and convert them into treasures, card draw, and board control. The deck closes games through a few overlapping channels: Expropriate and Plea for Power for extra turns, Selvala's Stampede to cheat threats into play, Magister of Worth for mass reanimation, and an infinite-mana combo involving Emiel the Blessed and Bloom Tender with Kenrith as the outlet. Kenrith himself is a flexible utility commander providing reanimation, card draw, and trample/haste for combat finishes, though the voting engine lives entirely in the 99.
