Format: Commander

Commander: Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Ghyrson Starn is a one-damage burn engine: every exact-1 damage source becomes 3 damage when his trigger resolves. The deck's primary plan is to park Ghyrson behind one or two pingers and then chain cheap instants and sorceries to burn all opponents and clear boards. A secondary plan uses Niv-Mizzet, Parun or Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind with Curiosity or Ophidian Eye to draw-ping-loop the table, while Grapeshot storm can finish once enough spells are cast. The low curve and dense cantrips keep the engine fed. Veyran, Ral, and Saheeli multiply or copy triggers, and Chandra's Incinerator turns repeated pings into repeatable removal.
