Format: Commander

Commander: Monk Gyatso

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This mono-white deck wins with an infinite airbend loop built around Monk Gyatso. You target your own creature with a 0-cost en-Kor ability or free equipment like Shuko or Lightning Greaves, Gyatso exiles it, and cost reducers such as Semblance Anvil and Urza's Incubator let you recast it for {2} reduced to zero. Each recast and re-entry triggers Altar of the Brood, Glaring Fleshraker, or Aetherflux Reservoir to eliminate opponents. Gyatso also acts as protection by airbending in response to removal. Oswald Fiddlebender and the en-Kor plus free-equip package function as hidden commanders that tutor and enable the engine, while Deafening Silence and value creatures provide a grind plan when the loop is unavailable.
