Raphael, Fiendish Savior by Wuropp

Format: Commander

Commander: Raphael, Fiendish Savior

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Raphael, Fiendish Savior leads a black-red Demon tribal strategy that turns creature deaths into Devil tokens and pressures opponents with anthem-buffed attackers. The deck has no double-faced commander and no hidden commander. It wins primarily by tutoring Liliana's Contract and deploying four differently named Demons, with a secondary beatdown plan backed by lifelink tokens, Fiendish Duo, and Zariel's extra combat. Sacrifice outlets, looting, and recursion keep Raphael's end-step trigger active while generating Treasures and pings from Mayhem Devil. Without fast combo pieces, the deck is a resilient midrange grinder rather than a turn-four combo deck.
