Rhys the redeemed by user7092874

Format: Commander

Commander: Rhys the Redeemed

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Rhys the Redeemed is the sole commander and the deck's engine: the plan is to use early Elf mana to cast Rhys quickly, build a token army through Elvish Promenade, Imperious Perfect, and Elspeth, then multiply it with Rhys's second ability and Second Harvest. Growing Rites of Itlimoc is a support card, not a hidden commander; it becomes Itlimoc, Cradle of the Sun to fuel more activations. The Elf Druid package creates enough green mana for Rhys's costly doubling ability, and the deck finishes with Overrun-style pump spells and trample anthems. It is a mid-speed token deck that can close around turn nine rather than a combo deck.
