Silverquill by Kaiser1221

Format: Commander

Commander: Shadrix Silverquill

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Shadrix Silverquill fronts an Orzhov aristocrats build that wins by converting creature deaths into life loss. The primary plan is to generate a steady stream of tokens, then assemble the Cathars' Crusade + Basri's Lieutenant loop with a sacrifice outlet and a drain effect for infinite triggers. The secondary fallback is a wide flying/token beatdown with Shadrix's combat modes, Elesh Norn, and Felidar Retreat. Shadrix himself is a political value engine: each combat he draws, creates an Inkling, or pumps the board, while also feeding Smothering Tithe and Kambal. There is no hidden or double-faced commander; the deck is built around Shadrix, though the actual win condition lives in the non-commander aristocrat package.
