Defenders

Format: Commander

Commander: Felothar the Steadfast

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck is a toughness-matters build helmed by Felothar the Steadfast, using its ability to turn high-toughness creatures into both mana sources and card draw. The primary game plan is to deploy a toughness-matters enabler (like Doran, the Siege Tower or Assault Formation), then attack with oversized defenders while drawing cards through Felothar's activated ability. The deck also includes a life-total manipulation combo with Tree of Perdition and Triskaidekaphobia as an alternate win condition, and Nethroi, Apex of Death for mass reanimation. The speed is slow, relying on incremental value and a single combat kill over several turns.
