Format: Commander

Commander: Celes, Rune Knight

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Celes, Rune Knight anchors a Mardu reanimator build: her enters trigger lets you discard redundant fatties and Dragon Auras while drawing fresh gas, and her second ability turns every reanimated entry into a global +1/+1 counter. The primary plan is to fill the graveyard with self-mill and discard, reanimate high-value threats cheaply, then explode with mass-reanimation into a hasty, counter-bearing board. Secondary paths are flicker loops for value/protection and The Dawning Archaic as a repeatable graveyard spell engine. There is no hidden commander; Celes is both the card-advantage engine and the anthem that makes a big swing lethal.
