Format: Commander

Commander: Rhys the Redeemed

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a GW elfball combo deck where the commander is arguably the least important card in the 99. The real engine is a lean mono-green shell (2.48 average MV) of fifteen-plus mana-producing elves and an eleven-card tutor suite that repeatedly assembles infinite mana off Priest of Titania, Elvish Archdruid, Circle of Dreams Druid, or Marwyn, the Nurturer plus Staff of Domination or Umbral Mantle. That mana converts into a one-swing finish through Ezuri, Renegade Leader pumps, Finale of Devastation, Craterhoof Behemoth, Triumph of the Hordes, or an exponentially doubling Rhys the Redeemed under Concordant Crossroads. The plan is goldfish-first: ramp, tutor, combo, shield the combo turn with City of Solitude and a trio of free spells, then swing once for the table. White is a utility splash for Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares, Enlightened Tutor, Teferi's Protection, and Flawless Maneuver.
