[ZEN] Even Money [Grenzo cEDH] by MYSTICPOTATO279

Format: Commander

Commander: Grenzo, Dungeon Warden

Bracket: 5

Deck overview

Grenzo, Dungeon Warden leads a low-to-the-ground combo deck that uses fast mana and tutors to assemble an early engine. The main plan is to chain bottom-of-library creatures through Grenzo while recycling key pieces with Tomb Trawler and Barkform Harvester, using sacrifice/damage payoffs as the finisher. The faster backup is Underworld Breach plus Lion's Eye Diamond plus Grinding Station, and the reanimation combo of Worldgorger Dragon with Animate Dead or Necromancy creates infinite mana. Maralen/Opposition Agent and Bolas's Citadel provide disruption and card advantage. The only DFC, Valki/Tibalt, is a flexible side threat-Valki copies an exiled creature, Tibalt provides card advantage and removal-not a hidden commander. Grenzo matters as an engine and outlet, but the deck's primary paths do not depend on him.
