Commander: Eshki Dragonclaw

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Eshki Dragonclaw is both the draw engine and the win condition: in each turn where you cast a creature and a noncreature, she draws a card and grows. The deck accelerates into her on turn three, then completes the kill by making Eshki hard to block and hard to remove while pairing her with Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar so one attack damages all three opponents. Level Up and Innkeeper's Talent double her counters; Champion's Helm, Swiftfoot Boots, Mithril Coat, and cheap counterspells keep her alive. Dragonmaster Outcast and Triskaidekaphile are incidental backup wins. There is no hidden commander; Kediss is the key supporting piece rather than a second commander.
