Celes, The Persistent knight by SHAMANOODLE

Format: Commander

Commander: Celes, Rune Knight

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Celes, Rune Knight pilots a Mardu persist-combo shell. The primary plan is to put a persist creature and Vizier of Remedies into play, add a sacrifice outlet, and loop the creature for infinite death/ETB triggers, usually closed by Impact Tremors, Goblin Bombardment, or Murderous Redcap. Secondary paths use Abdel Adrian + Animate Dead for infinite Soldier tokens or Underworld Breach with Culling the Weak and Stitcher's Supplier for mana into Exsanguinate. Celes is the draw-and-fill engine: her looting loads the graveyard, digs to pieces, and her counter trigger turns any persist loop into an unstoppable board. The deck is fast, graveyard-centric, and highly redundant.
