Commander: Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald turns Gruul's play-from-exile theme into an engine of Wolf tokens and card advantage. The deck ramps into Faldorn by turn 3, then chains impulsive draw, cascade, and battle value to keep exiling and casting spells; every exiled land or spell can produce a 2/2 Wolf. It closes with overrun effects such as End-Raze Forerunners, free Etali spells, and Kessig Wolf Run pumps. There is no infinite combo; the primary plan is resilient midrange beatdown, with a secondary path of stealing opponents' cards via Stolen Strategy and Etali. No hidden commander exists, though Tovolar acts as a secondary Wolf payoff. The commander is a major but not sole engine, so the deck remains functional when she is answered.
