Magar of the Magic Strings by Boj

Format: Commander

Commander: Magar of the Magic Strings

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Magar of the Magic Strings is the deck's single-faced engine: it turns instants and sorceries in the graveyard into 3/3 attackers that cast free copies of the noted spell on combat damage. The primary plan fills the graveyard, animates high-impact payoffs such as Army of the Damned or Blood for the Blood God!, then uses haste and unblockable effects to turn repeated hits into game-ending triggers. A secondary path uses cast-trigger payoffs such as Guttersnipe, Judith, and Rite of the Dragoncaller to convert copied spells into pressure. There is no hidden second commander, but Savage Beating is the hidden kill line, acting as a repeatable extra-combat engine once copied by a Magar token.
