Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Tergrid, God of Fright // Tergrid's Lantern is a one-permanent MDFC; the deck is built around the God face, which steals every permanent opponents discard or sacrifice. The Lantern face is a situational, cheaper fallback that pressures one player per turn when the steal engine is unnecessary or uncastable. Symmetrical discard (Bottomless Pit, Necrogen Mists, Delirium Skeins) and sacrifice effects (Grave Pact, Dictate of Erebos, Plaguecrafter) strip the board while Tergrid converts those losses into an army. Cabal Coffers/Urborg plus Crypt Ghast/Magus create massive mana, and the deck closes with Torment of Hailfire or Exsanguinate. Tinybones and Gray Merchant are ancillary finishers. This is a midrange stax deck whose primary kill is one large X spell.
