Commander: Blech, Loafing Pest

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a Golgari Pest-aristocrats deck helmed by Blech, Loafing Pest, built around a dense loop of token generation, lifegain, and drain. The core engine is simple: create 1/1 Pest tokens, sacrifice or trade them away, gain life from their deaths, and convert every lifegain trigger into opponent life loss through a deep suite of "whenever you gain life, each opponent loses 1 life" effects like Dina, Soul Steeper, Marauding Blight-Priest, South Wind Avatar, and Enduring Tenacity. The commander turns that lifegain into a board-wide +1/+1 counter pump on the swarm. The deck wins through attrition - incremental drain across many triggers - with Beledros Witherbloom untap turns and Rise of the Dark Realms as explosive finishers. It is a grindy, value-dense midrange build with strong recursion but no fast combo lines.
