Format: Commander

Commander: Zilortha, Strength Incarnate

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Zilortha, Strength Incarnate leads a Gruul 'big power' midrange build. Cheap ramp and power-based card draw let the deck cast 5-12 power creatures ahead of curve. Zilortha's replacement effect lets its high-power, low-toughness attackers survive damage-based removal and blocks, while trample, haste, double strike, and an extra-combat attack close games in a few swing phases. Secondary paths are Etali's free-spell advantage, monarch/card advantage from Crimson Fleet Commodore, and Become the Avalanche as a one-turn pump. There is no hidden commander; the deck is built around Zilortha's damage-survival rule rather than a second face. Winning requires assembling a wide/tall attacking board and protecting it from wraths, since there are no infinite combos.
