Commander: The Mindskinner

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

The Mindskinner is a single-faced, unblockable mill engine: its 10-power attacks turn combat damage into a 10-card mill against each opponent. The deck is built to feed that trigger with multipliers like Bruvac and The Water Crystal, plus incremental mill from Ruin Crab and Riverchurn Monument. Secondary paths use half-library bombs such as Fleet Swallower, Terisian Mindbreaker, and Jidoor to close games, often through Bruvac. There is no hidden commander; Bruvac is the most important supporting legend. The remaining slots are protection, counterspells, and incidental mill so the commander or Bruvac can survive long enough to empty three libraries.
