The Master of Keys by user7493883

Format: Commander

Commander: The Master of Keys

Bracket: 5

Deck overview

The deck is a fast Esper combo-control list built around The Master of Keys as an optional late-game recursion engine rather than a required combo piece. The main kill is Thassa's Oracle emptied by Demonic Consultation or Tainted Pact; a secondary loop with Abdel Adrian plus Animate Dead/Necromancy makes infinite Soldier tokens and drains with Tinybones Joins Up. A dense draw-and-tutor package (Rhystic Study, Smothering Tithe, Vampiric Tutor) finds the pieces, while Teferi, Silence, Grand Abolisher, and free counters protect the turn. There is no hidden commander; Abdel Adrian is a supporting combo piece. The Master of Keys mills and then gives enchantments escape, making removal and engines reusable.
