Format: Commander

Commander: The Serpent Society

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a deathtouch-and-poison control deck that wins by putting ten poison counters on each opponent. The Serpent Society is a versatile removal commander: its Ward punishes targeters with five poison counters, and its death trigger turns every deathtouch creature into a forced-sacrifice effect. The deck floods the board with cheap deathtouch and toxic creatures, accelerates poison with Fynn and proliferate spells, and uses Skithiryx as an evasive finisher. Fynn acts as a hidden commander in the 99, converting individual deathtouch hits into two poison counters. Secondary sacrifice synergies with Grave Pact, Vraska the Silencer, and Cauldron of Essence keep boards clear. No infinite combo exists; wins come through incremental combat, proliferate, and the commander's Ward pressure.
