Kenrith by ImmenseRaptor79

Format: Commander

Commander: Kenrith, the Returned King

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This five-color political control deck leverages Kenrith, the Returned King alongside group-hug engines and voting mechanics to dictate table dynamics and accumulate massive card advantage. Early turns focus on ramping and deploying symmetrical resource generators like Selvala, Explorer Returned, Master of Ceremonies, and Kami of the Crescent Moon. Cost reducers such as Zirda, the Dawnwaker and Heartstone allow Kenrith to cheaply draw cards, reanimate key utility creatures, and bolster the board. The primary path to victory involves overwhelming the table through Kenrith-fueled combat buffs, unblockable attacks with Aragorn, King of Gondor, taking extra turns via Expropriate, or fulfilling the alternate win condition of Happily Ever After.
