Commander: Taskmaster, Mercenary Mimic

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a UB mill-control deck built around a hidden commander, Bruvac the Grandiloquent. The primary plan is to land Bruvac and then resolve a half-library mill effect-kicked Maddening Cacophony, a Fleet Swallower attack, or an unearthed Terisian Mindbreaker-to mill every opponent out at once. Taskmaster, Mercenary Mimic acts as a flexible copy tool: it can become Bruvac, a large mill creature, or an opponent's best threat. Secondary paths include the Bloodchief Ascension + Mindcrank/Master of Lake-town drain-mill loop and graveyard theft through Captain N'ghathrod, Ink-Eyes, and Sauron. The deck is tutor-heavy and interaction-backed, but its wins are concentrated in a small number of combo pieces.
