The City of Dale by user4156978

Format: Commander

Commander: Bard, King of Dale

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Bard, King of Dale is an Azorius engine: every non-draw-step draw becomes two draws and every token event becomes doubled tokens. The primary plan is to grind into a life-gaining Angel army, converting small tokens into 4/4 Angels with Divine Visitation and pushing life totals upward through Wind Crystal, Bishop of Wings, and Righteous Valkyrie. It finishes either with an infinite Heliod + Archangel of Thune + Walking Ballista ping loop or a single Angel of Destiny swing once life exceeds 55. Bruna/Gisela melding into Brisela is a secondary lock, not the hidden commander. No card in the list functions as a hidden commander.
