Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a fast Rakdos aristocrats-combo deck built around partner commanders Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh and Tormod, the Desecrator. Rograkh is free, so he powers Mox Amber, pays sacrifice costs, and enables free interaction; Tormod turns any card leaving the graveyard into zombie tokens. The primary plan is to fill the graveyard, reanimate recursive creatures such as Nether Traitor, and use Tormod plus Phyrexian Altar to make infinite black mana and infinite death triggers. Blood Artist effects then drain all opponents. Underworld Breach with Culling the Weak and Stitcher's Supplier is a second, commander-independent loop. The hidden commander is effectively Underworld Breach, since it provides the main alternative engine.
