Mirage Cycle by Psyga315

Format: Commander

Commander: Asmira, Holy Avenger

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a midrange GW aura/land-hate deck that plays protection-from-color fatties, enchantment-based denial, and life-gain engines. The primary plan is to curve Asmira into Heliod or Sythis, then use Mirari's Wake and both Crystals to cast multiple 5-6 mana threats and bury opponents in combat. A secondary path is a metagame-dependent Swamp/Island/Mountain-hate plan with Karma, Royal Decree, Spreading Algae, and Crusading Knight. Asmira is a resilient flying beater, but her death-trigger is only a bonus because the deck has few sacrifice outlets; the closest hidden commander is Sythis as the only repeatable draw engine, with Heliod as a token backup.
