Betrayal (BG) by GrimlockX

Commander: Rendmaw, Creaking Nest

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Rendmaw, Creaking Nest commands an aristocrats and forced-combat engine that turns multi-type cards into swarms of goaded 2/2 Bird tokens. The deck uses these tokens to force opponents to attack each other while setting up continuous death triggers. Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, Syr Konrad, the Grim, and Vein Ripper rapidly drain the table as combat and sacrifice outlets clear the board. When board stalls occur or opponents fall low, the deck pivots into infinite sacrifice loops using Phyrexian Altar, Eternal Witness, and Kaya's Ghostform, or artifact recursion loops with Ashnod's Altar and Nim Deathmantle to drain all opponents instantly.
