Commander: Zethi, Arcane Blademaster

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Zethi, Arcane Blademaster leads a UW instant-focused deck that uses cheap cantrips and bounce spells as repeatable value. There is no hidden commander; the deck is built around Zethi's single face as a graveyard-exiling engine. The plan is to fill the graveyard early, cast Zethi with multiple kicks to exile those instants, then recast copies on every attack to draw, protect, and trigger token makers. Talrand, Monastery Mentor, Poppet Stitcher, and Geralf convert each spell into bodies, while High Tide and Turnabout create explosive draw/churn turns. Akroma's Will and Show of Confidence turn the resulting wide board into a one-swing finish. Brain Freeze provides a mill backup if a large spell chain is assembled. The deck wins through value and combat, not a compact combo.
