Format: Commander

Commander: Shanid, Sleepers' Scourge

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Shanid, Sleepers' Scourge leads a Mardu legendary-tribal value build. The primary plan is to curve one legendary spell or land per turn, turning every cast into a card via Shanid while payoffs like Arbaaz Mir, Gloin, and Elas il-Kor drain or broaden the board. The secondary path is graveyard mass reanimation with Shilgengar, Chainer, and Primevals' Glorious Rebirth, often ending through a huge hasted swing. A third line uses War of the Last Alliance to go wide and close with double strike. No hidden commander exists; the deck is built around Shanid's draw engine, and the 99 supplies tutors, recursion, and drain effects to keep that engine running.
