Songbird by iCardboard

Format: Commander

Commander: Songbird, Sonic Screamer

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Songbird, Sonic Screamer leads a mono-black discard-and-reanimation deck. The primary plan is to use her discard outlet plus artifacts like Key to the City to fill the graveyard and trigger madness, Waste Not, and Bone Miser; then tutors such as Buried Alive and Final Parting bin Archon of Cruelty, Rune-Scarred Demon, and Gray Merchant, which Victimize, Afterlife from the Loam, or Rise of the Dark Realms bring back. Secondary paths are discard-control with Tinybones and Painful Quandary, or a token engine with Cryptcaller Chariot. Ardyn, the Usurper acts as a hidden second commander, granting Demons haste/lifelink and copying graveyard creatures as 5/5 Demons. No true hidden commander exists, but the deck is built to abuse Ardyn once reanimated.
