The Witcher Commander: Witchers by user4581823

Format: Commander

Commander: Maarika, Brutal Gladiator

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Jund deck is built around Maarika, Brutal Gladiator's excess-damage trigger, combining forced blocking, fight spells, and power doublers to strip opponents of their noncreature permanents. The plan is to make Maarika's 7/4 indestructible body impossible to ignore - Nemesis Mask, Lure, and Gift of the Deity force every creature to block her, while Xenagos, God of Revels, Mr. Orfeo, the Boulder, and Unnatural Growth balloon her power so excess damage converts into sacrifice triggers. Fight spells like Prizefight and The Last Agni Kai clear blockers and generate value, while Pain for All and Chandra's Ignition turn her size into table-wide reach. The primary win is combat damage backed by Aggravated Assault + Selvala, Heart of the Wilds for infinite combat steps, with Chandra's Ignition on a doubled Maarika as a one-shot finisher. Value engines Neyith of the Dire Hunt and Chevill, Bane of Monsters keep the hand full.
