Bridge Treader by Fredrikie

Format: Commander

Commander: Esika, God of the Tree // The Prismatic Bridge

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a five-color deck helmed by Esika, God of the Tree // The Prismatic Bridge, but the real engine is a hidden commander in the 99: Ink-Treader Nephilim. The deck is a cantrip-storm shell packed with dozens of one-mana instants and sorceries that target a single creature - which copy for every creature on the battlefield when aimed at the Nephilim. The plan is to tutor up Ink-Treader, cast it, then chain cantrips to draw through the deck and generate a massive token army while the copied -1/-1 effects clear opposing boards. Esika's front face serves as a mana dork for fixing, while The Prismatic Bridge is nearly dead - the deck runs only one other creature, so the Bridge reveals almost the entire library and whiffs. The win condition is grinding combat with 1/1 tokens, as there is no dedicated finisher.
