Curse of the Eternal Swordsman of Slaanesh by Renaurd

Format: Commander

Commander: Lucius the Eternal

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a Rakdos sacrifice-and-Warrior deck helmed by Lucius the Eternal, a haste 5/3 that refuses to stay dead: when he dies he exiles himself onto an opponent's creature and returns when that creature leaves the battlefield. The core plan is aristocrats attrition - Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, Pitiless Plunderer, Goblin Bombardment, Grave Pact, and Stalking Vengeance convert every death into life loss, Treasure, and board control. A dense Warrior sub-theme (14 Warriors) becomes an unblockable combat clock with Gornog, the Red Reaper and Kargan Intimidator's "Cowards can't block Warriors" lock, while Alesha, Who Laughs at Fate, Virtue of Persistence, and Victimize restock the board. Finishers include a deeply discounted Blood for the Blood God!, Warstorm Surge and Stalking Vengeance pings, and the political alternate-win Zenos yae Galvus // Shinryu, Transcendent Rival. There are no infinite combos; the deck grinds, drains, then overwhelms.
