The Scarlet Witch by M3Stall

Format: Commander

Commander: The Scarlet Witch

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a mono-red "big-spells" burn deck built around The Scarlet Witch's power-based cost reduction for instant and sorcery spells with mana value 4 or greater. The core loop is simple and explosive: ramp early, deploy the commander, then chain discounted haymakers - Crackle with Power, Comet Storm, Finale of Promise, Apex of Power - through damage-multiplier permanents like Solphim, Mayhem Dominus, Fiery Emancipation, City on Fire, and Isengard Unleashed, or through copy effects like Repeated Reverberation, Double Vision, Arcane Bombardment, and Chandra, Hope's Beacon, to burn all three opponents in a single turn. The commander is the deck's entire mana engine, and the deck is essentially unplayable as a fast combo deck without her, though it maintains a midrange burn plan via Guttersnipe, Fiery Inscription, Urabrask, and token generation from Young Pyromancer and Storm-Kiln Artist. Insurrection is a backup combat finisher, and Return the Past plus the flipped saga side of Urabrask // The Great Work provide a second wind from the graveyard.
