Cycle Master 3 by Psyga315

Format: Commander

Commander: Xira Arien

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Legends-heavy Jund deck built around Xira Arien as a repeatable card-draw engine in the command zone. The primary plan is to use Xira's activated ability to churn through the deck, land a large threat such as Vaevictis Asmadi, Cosmic Horror, or Zodiac Dragon, and close with evasive or unblockable combat damage. The deck also contains a heavy disruption package of black removal, red burn, and green permanent answers, plus a minor Kobold tribal subtheme. It is a slow, attrition-oriented midrange deck that wins through incremental card advantage and haymaker creatures rather than combos.
