Commander: Yurlok of Scorch Thrash

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Yurlok of Scorch Thrash is a Jund mana-burn deck: it forces opponents to float mana through Mana Flare, Dictate of Karametra, Zhur-Taa Ancient, and Keeper of Progenitus, then punishes them with Yurlok's unspent-mana replacement effect. The primary win condition is a compact infinite-mana engine using Pili-Pala with Cryptolith Rite plus Leyline of Abundance or Mana Reflection, finished through Staff of Domination untapping Yurlok to fill opponents' mana pools and burn them on the phase change. Wound Reflection doubles the burn. The deck also has a group-slug backup plan with Manabarbs, Citadel of Pain, Power Surge, and Zo-Zu, plus a slow Helix Pinnacle alternate win. There is no hidden commander; the deck is built squarely around Yurlok.
