Format: Commander

Commander: Niko, Light of Hope

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Niko, Light of Hope leads a UW blink/token deck that turns Shard tokens into copies of powerful creatures. The primary plan is to develop a board of value creatures, then use Niko's activated ability or flicker effects to mass-produce Shards and copy the best creature on board. The deck wins through evasive flying beatdown, token armies, and incremental card advantage. A hidden commander is Preston, the Vanisher, who doubles every blinked creature into 0/1 Illusion copies, multiplying both value and combat presence. The deck is not a fast combo deck; it wins through sustained board development and repeated blink loops.
