Benrith by Archbenemy

Format: Commander

Commander: Kenrith, the Returned King

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

The deck is a five-color Monarch value engine built around Kenrith, the Returned King as the ultimate mana sink. Primary plan is to assemble unbounded colored mana with Faeburrow Elder and Staff of Domination, often enabled by Leyline of the Guildpact, then use Kenrith's draw ability to mill each opponent out in one turn. Secondary paths are unblockable Nobles and lifegain payoffs that turn Sorin's extort and Kenrith's life gain into free spells through Bre of Clan Stoutarm. The Monarch package-Queen Marchesa, Court of Bounty, Archon of Coronation-supplies card advantage and soft defense while the combo is assembled.
