Commander: Yedora, Grave Gardener

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Yedora, Grave Gardener turns every nontoken death into a face-down Forest, and this deck weaponizes that ability into a mono-green engines-and-combo list. The primary plan is assembling a loop where a sacrificed morph or animated Forest returns as a land, gets turned face up or animated again, and is re-sacrificed to Ashnod's Altar or Altar of Dementia, producing infinite mana, death triggers, and landfall. Secondary paths use Bristly Bill/Seedborn Muse beats or Scute Swarm/Rampaging Baloths value. Yedora is the lynchpin; if she stays out, the deck can pivot from grind to an immediate win. Interaction is mostly removal and protection rather than stack fighting.
