Paradise Lost by user4280292

Format: Commander

Commander: Tariel, Reckoner of Souls

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Mardu graveyard-thief deck built around Tariel, Reckoner of Souls as a repeatable activated reanimation engine rather than a combo piece. Early wheels, draws, and discard effects stock all graveyards, then Tariel, copied by Bracers and sped up by haste/untap effects, steals the best creatures each turn. The hidden commander is Tergrid, God of Fright // Tergrid's Lantern: wheels and sacrifice effects turn into mass theft, while Syr Konrad, the Grim converts every grave-fill event into damage. Secondary paths include mass reanimation through Breach the Multiverse and Sheoldred // The True Scriptures, finished by Syr Konrad drain plus a large attack. There is no double-faced commander in use, and no infinite loop; the deck wins by grinding and then overwhelming with stolen boards.
