Fragments of Hope by bjonkers

Format: Commander

Commander: Niko, Light of Hope

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Niko, Light of Hope leads an Azorius flicker control deck that turns incremental enter-the-battlefield triggers into overwhelming board states. Niko generates Shard tokens upon entering, which can transform into copies of your strongest nonlegendary creatures until end of turn. The primary game plan revolves around accruing massive card advantage and board presence with blink engines like Soulherder, Brago, King Eternal, and Displacer Kitten. You secure victory by turning multiple Shards into devastating attackers like Silverwing Squadron or Battle Angels of Tyr, overwhelming opponents with Goldnight Commander buffs, or executing infinite Soldier token loops with Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward and instant flicker spells.
