Commander: Sakashima of a Thousand Faces

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Mono-blue combo-tempo deck. Primary plan is to assemble an infinite-mana engine-either Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal with Sol Ring/Arcane Signet, or the High Tide/Peregrine Drake/Archaeomancer/Ghostly Flicker loop-then end via Nexus of Fate extra turns or a stormed Brain Freeze. Secondary plan uses Sakashima and clone effects to copy Hullbreaker Horror or Agent of Treachery, generating advantage and locking the board. Sakashima is a flexible enabler rather than the engine; Hidden-commander role effectively belongs to Hullbreaker Horror, while Orvar and Wizard token producers support both paths. Cheap cantrips and tutors make lines consistent, with counterspells protecting the combo turn.
