Raphael, Fiendish Savior by Atomic_Flare

Format: Commander

Commander: Raphael, Fiendish Savior

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Raphael is a tribal multiplier for Demons, Devils, Imps, and Tieflings: his +1/+1 lifelink aura lets the deck turn small recursive creatures into a life-gaining combat army, while his end-step trigger turns any creature-card loss into a Devil token. The primary plan is creature beatdown accelerated by Herald of Slaanesh's discount and extra combat from Karlach and Bloodthirster, finished by Defiling Daemogoth's life-to-drain conversion. Secondary paths include Zurzoth and Witty Roastmaster token chip damage, Bolas's Citadel digging, and reanimation engines. Westvale Abbey/Ormendahl provides a resilient alternate beater. There is no hidden commander; the deck is built around Raphael's tribe and lifelink/drain synergy.
