Loose Idea by Jarbo

Format: Commander

Commander: Saruman of Many Colors

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Esper mill-control list that wins by turning a single mass-mill spell into a lethal chain. Saruman of Many Colors is a value engine: his second-spell trigger mills two per opponent and copies a spell from the new graveyard, but the real kill is assembled from Duskmantle Guildmage plus Mindcrank or The Master of Lake-town, so every milled card becomes life loss and more mill. Bruvac the Grandiloquent serves as a hidden commander, doubling all mill for Bruvac/Fraying/Cacophony lines. The deck also packs a compact infinite-mana engine with Displacer Kitten, Sol Ring, and Teferi. Interaction is heavy, letting it stall while assembling the one-card trigger that ends the game.
