Killian 2.0 by Maloydeus

Format: Commander

Commander: Killian, Decisive Mentor

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Killian, Decisive Mentor is a midrange Aura-Voltron engine. The primary plan is to cheapen and chain Auras onto a single protected creature-usually the commander or Serra Ascendant-using enchantress draws to keep casting, while Killian's first ability taps and goads blockers and his second ability draws on every Aura-attached attack. Secondary paths are infect via Phyresis, recurring a mass of Auras with Mantle of the Ancients/Replenish/Retether, or grinding opponents with goaded creatures and pillow-fort pieces like Ghostly Prison, Sphere of Safety, and No Mercy. Killian, Ink Duelist in the 99 acts as a second reducer for creature-targeting spells. The deck is not combo-oriented; it wins through repeated combat damage.
