Anti-goblin by VexVoucher712

Format: Commander

Commander: Tivadar of Thorn

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Tivadar of Thorn is a mono-white anti-red/black hatebear deck. It tries to invalidate red-based strategies with protection from red creatures, lifegain, and red-prevention enchantments, while taxing opponents' attacks and casts through Ghostly Prison, Archangel of Tithes, Thalia, and Blind Obedience. The primary plan is to drop cheap white creatures, pump them with anthem effects such as Honor of the Pure, Benalish Marshal, Crovax, and Elesh Norn, and beat down over several combat steps. Secondary paths include flickering value creatures with Ephemerate and Teleportation Circle, and using board wipes like Austere Command to reset after opponents overextend. Tivadar himself is a goblin removal spell and a pro-red beater, not an engine; the deck functions without him.
