Commander: Thalia and The Gitrog Monster

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck utilizes Thalia and The Gitrog Monster to enforce a stax-landfall midrange strategy. The commander slows opposing boards by forcing creatures and nonbasic lands to enter tapped, while providing extra land drops and card advantage whenever it attacks. The deck uses heavy ramp and graveyard-land recursion to cycle fetchlands repeatedly. It builds toward an overwhelming board presence using token generators like Scute Swarm and Rampaging Baloths, drains opponents with Retreat to Hagra, or establishes total board locks with Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and infinite dredge loops involving The Gitrog Monster and Dakmor Salvage.
