Commander: Azlask, the Swelling Scourge

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Azlask, the Swelling Scourge is a five-color colorless Eldrazi token deck built around death triggers and a giant final activation. The commander is single-faced; the real engine is token density: every Spawn or Scion is both a mana source and an experience counter once sacrificed. Backup experience legends-Meren, Minthara, Otharri, Ezuri-reinforce the same plan. The primary win is to build a wide board, stack experience counters through sacrifices, then activate Azlask's WUBRG to make Scions/Spawns indestructible with annihilator and hit for lethal, usually with Eldrazi Monument granting flying. A compact infinite-damage combo using Eldrazi Displacer with Brood Monitor or Emrakul's Hatcher and Glaring Fleshraker is the secondary line. The Drowner of Truth // Drowned Jungle modal card in the 99 is not a commander, so no face choice changes the plan.
