Tyranid Swarm (Copy) by Laggindragon

Format: Commander

Commander: Magus Lucea Kane

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Magus Lucea Kane heads a Tyranid X-spell deck that wins by turning one large spell into two, then converting the resulting +1/+1 counters into an evasive combat attack. The primary plan is ramp into the commander, copy high-X Ravenous Tyranids, and snowball counters with Doubling Season, Hardened Scales, and Broodlord. Secondary paths include global X burn from Exocrine, direct reach from Zoanthrope, and token/counter swings from The First Tyrannic War and Tervigon. Magus is the engine and a backup finisher; the deck can still cast X spells without her, but much slower. There is no hidden commander; the list is built entirely around Magus's copy trigger and Tyranid counter synergies.
