The Exalted One by cgodsey12

Format: Commander

Commander: Rafiq of the Many

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Rafiq of the Many is a Bant exalted voltron deck that combines exalted triggers with double strike to end games in one or two overwhelming combat phases. The primary plan is to accelerate into Rafiq, protect him with shroud and protection auras, and swing for lethal commander damage while every other creature stays home. Secondary paths include Finest Hour for an extra combat and Sovereigns of Lost Alara into Eldrazi Conscription as a one-shot finish. A low-curve enchantress package keeps the hand full, while targeted answers and counterspells back up the aura plan. The commander is the centerpiece, but the exalted/enchantress shell still functions as an aggressive aura deck if Rafiq is unavailable.
