Format: Commander

Commander: Hei Bai, Spirit of Balance

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Built around the hybrid-cost bear spirit Hei Bai, Spirit of Balance, this is a black-white Spirit/sacrifice value deck. Hei Bai turns spare creatures and artifacts into +1/+1 counters whenever he enters or attacks, then his leave-the-battlefield trigger lets you bank those counters onto an evasive threat. The 99 is a casual midrange pile of Spirit creatures, death-trigger tokens, sacrifice payoffs, and graveyard recursion: Tolls of War, Feast of the Victorious Dead, and Sandbender Scavengers reward the same sacrifices, while Eerie Soultender, Heron-Blessed Geist, and Great Arashin City turn the graveyard back into board presence. There is no infinite combo. The plan is to grind out incremental advantage, grow a huge counter-carrying creature, and win through commander damage or an evasive Spirit swarm.
