Commander: The Watcher in the Water

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

The Watcher in the Water is a draw-go combo-prison deck: it builds engines that draw on opponents' turns, converts those draws into Tentacle tokens, and uses those tokens to untap the commander, ramp, or lock the table. Once Mister Fantastic joins The Watcher, any opponent-turn draw becomes an optional infinite loop of tokens and cards, which can kill through combat, feed Junk Winder's permanent taps, or fuel Psychosis Crawler's life loss. Copy effects, especially Sakashima of a Thousand Faces, act as a hidden second Watcher. Big X-draw spells and High Tide provide a slower backup. The primary plan is extremely effective but fragile, relying on two specific creatures and no creature tutors.
