Dáin of the Ancient Halls by Ovy

Format: Commander

Commander: Dáin of the Ancient Halls

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This Boros deck is a Dwarf-tribal aggro list built around Dain of the Ancient Halls. Its primary plan is to cast Dain as early as turn 3-4, then attack every turn with as many Dwarves as possible so his trigger deals damage to all opponents. Secondary paths use Equipment and Shared Animosity to push combat damage, Fili and An Unexpected Party to generate Dwarf tokens, and Balin, Loremaster as a burst draw-and-burn finisher when the Storied threshold is met. The deck is low to the ground and has no infinite combos; it wins by converting board presence into repeated universal damage. It is vulnerable to board wipes and Dain-removal but can rebuild with tokens.
