Eir Ball by masonjacobss

Format: Commander

Commander: Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Eirdu is a five-mana two-sided engine: the front face's convoke develops the board, and the Isilu face gives every other nontoken creature persist. The deck wins by turning Isilu online, then sacrificing a persist/undying creature such as Butcher Ghoul or Geralf's Messenger to Viscera Seer or Ashnod's Altar while Blood Artist, Cruel Celebrant, or Elas il-Kor drains the table. Tutors and recursion find the missing piece. Sephiroth and Syr Konrad are secondary value/backup engines rather than a hidden commander. The fallback plan is a conventional aristocrat grind of tokens, death triggers, and lifegain.
