Strong Bones!! by MyrRecycler

Format: Commander

Commander: Myrkul, Lord of Bones

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Abzan stax/value deck built around Myrkul. The primary plan: accelerate into Myrkul, then convert every dying nontoken creature into an enchantment token that keeps its text, while stax pieces (Grave Pact, Contamination, Tainted Aether) strip opponents' resources. Secondary explosions come from Natural Affinity + Armageddon: under Myrkul, your lands become enchantment mana tokens that survive the wipe, while opponents lose their mana. The deck beats down with Elesh Norn/Massacre Wurm plus Akroma's Will. No hidden commander; the general is mandatory for the engine, but the deck can fall back on a conventional midrange stax game if he is unavailable. The enchantment tokens are not creatures, so victory still relies on preserving actual attackers for a single big turn.
