HeiBai by zshawn88

Format: Commander

Commander: Hei Bai, Spirit of Balance

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Orzhov aristocrats built around Hei Bai as a repeatable sacrifice outlet and counter-transfer engine. The primary plan is to generate death triggers, convert creatures/artifacts into value with Hei Bai, and finish with drain effects while looping recursive creatures. Secondary paths: infinite Ashnod's Altar/Pitiless Plunderer loop, Valkyrie's Call plus sac outlet loop, and commander damage from a buffed Hei Bai. Teysa Karlov is the hidden engine in the 99, doubling most death triggers. The deck is a mid-speed combo/aggro hybrid with little stack interaction, relying on board presence, recursion, and token generation to grind out games.
