Commander: Witherbloom, the Balancer

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a Saproling/Fungus token deck built around Witherbloom, the Balancer. The commander is not an early engine; the deck spends the first turns creating small tokens and then casts the Elder Dragon for almost nothing via affinity for creatures. From that point, every instant and sorcery shares the same discount, letting Saproling Symbiosis, Fungal Sprouting, Return of the Wildspeaker, and Vivien's Stampede be cast far below their printed costs. The Mycotyrant acts as a hidden commander and second engine. There are no infinite combos; the primary line is to go extremely wide and win with a pumped combat step, while Slimefoot's death trigger provides drain and Nemata gives alternate reach.
