Lotho (from cards I own) by LazyWizard

Format: Commander

Commander: Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff is an Orzhov token/artifact value commander: every second spell cast in a turn creates Treasure, which Academy Manufactor turns into Clue/Food/Treasure multipliers. The primary plan is incremental card advantage and life drain from Caretaker's Talent, Braids, Sheoldred, Kambal, and Mirkwood Bats, then closing with Aetherflux Reservoir, Marionette Master, or a Super State-equipped unblockable Lotho. Secondary paths are artifact-matters burst (Monumental Corruption, Cranial Plating) and light stax from Blind Obedience and Dauthi Voidwalker. There is no hidden commander; Lotho is the engine, but the deck runs enough independent token/draw pieces that it keeps working without him.
