Budget Lord Xander by pazini7

Format: Commander

Commander: Lord Xander, the Collector

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Lord Xander, the Collector is the primary engine and finisher: his attack mills half of each defender's library, and the deck uses Mirror Box, clones, and copy effects to multiply that trigger. The main kill is Duskmantle Guildmage plus kicked Maddening Cacophony, which converts the 50-card mill into 50 life loss for each opponent. Secondary paths use Syr Konrad and Dreadhound to drain from incidental mill, and Geth or Ashiok to exploit and exile graveyards. Evelyn, the Covetous acts as a hidden-commander-style value engine when Xander is unavailable. The deck is a mid-speed, graveyard-dependent build that wins by milling, draining, and occasionally stealing the resources it mills.
