Format: Commander

Commander: Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin

Bracket: 5

Deck overview

This is a turbo Rakdos ping deck built around Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin. You land Ob on turn 1-2 with fast mana, then use cheap pingers that deal 1 damage to each opponent to trigger Ob's exile-draw and grow him with +1/+1 counters. Those counters and exile synergies feed infinite damage loops with All Will Be One, Agatha's Soul Cauldron, and artifact loops. Secondary paths use Ad Nauseam and Bolas's Citadel to storm off, or Grinding Station plus Underworld Breach to loop artifacts. Prosper, Tome-Bound acts as a hidden commander, turning every exile play into Treasure and card advantage when Ob is offline.
