Commander: Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir pilots an Esper Knight tribal deck that uses the command-zone eminence draw to churn through the library while deploying an evasive, indestructible board. The core plan is aggressive: cheap Knights trigger eminence looting, then Herald of Hoofbeats and Wonder-style flying make attacks unblockable, while Valiant Knight and Kwende turn them into double strike killers. Recursion from Sidar's combat trigger, Haakon, and Animate Dead leaves the board resilient. The deck also packs a subtle drain layer (Corpse Knight, Knights' Charge, Syr Konrad) to finish stalling tables. It lacks compact combos, so it is a disciplined tempo-wave build that caps the table through repeated, buffed, evasive combat steps.
