Radio Silence by Espers2Magicite

Format: Commander

Commander: Soundwave, Sonic Spy // Soundwave, Superior Captain

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Esper deck is a token-and-mill value engine built around both faces of Soundwave. The front face rewards token combat by exiling and copying instants/sorceries from opponents' graveyards, then converting into Superior Captain; the back face makes Ravage and Laserbeak robots from odd/even spell casts before flipping back. Bard, King of Dale acts as the hidden commander, doubling token generation and draw. The primary path is a wide flying token kill with Inspiring Leader, Aven Wind Guide, and Securitron counters, backed by mill packages (Court of Cunning, Fractured Sanity, The Water Crystal) and Soundwave's copied spells. Secondary paths are pure mill and Marneus/Temmet combat turns.
