Kefka by DeepNirva

Format: Commander

Commander: Kefka, Court Mage // Kefka, Ruler of Ruin

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Kefka, Court Mage is the engine; every enter/attack trigger strips a card from each opponent while the pilot draws a card per discarded card type, feeding a discard-payoff shell built around Waste Not, Geth's Grimoire, Bone Miser and Liliana's Caress. The primary plan is to win by wheel-effect burn with Nekusar and Sheoldred, and the secondary plan is the transformed Ruler of Ruin draw-loop with Psychosis Crawler and a life-loss trigger such as Syr Konrad or Angrath. The deck is built to use the front face for disruption and card advantage; the back face is the finisher rather than the plan. Kess, Dissident Mage is the hidden commander, recasting tutors and wheels, with Nekusar acting as an alternate general.
