Commander: Geist of Saint Traft

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Geist of Saint Traft is a hexproof, evasive commander built around repeated attack triggers. The primary plan is simple: attack with Geist, create 4/4 Angel tokens, and use Sundial of the Infinite or Discontinuity to keep those tokens through the end step, building an army that doubles with Exalted Sunborn and Roaming Throne. The deck also carries an equipment subtheme: Colossus Hammer or Blackblade Reforged turn Geist into a one-shot commander-damage threat, with Ardenn, Forge Anew, Stoneforge Mystic, and Puresteel Paladin reducing or eliminating equip costs. Battle Angels of Tyr and Blade of Selves spread damage to all opponents. Counterspells, protection, and a high instant-speed suite keep the board stable while Geist grinds out the win.
