I would like to reveal my commander: Bolas's Citadel. by user6833798

Format: Commander

Commander: Noctis, Prince of Lucis

Bracket: 5

Deck overview

This is a fast Esper combo deck built around Noctis, Prince of Lucis. Thassa's Oracle acts as the hidden commander: the primary plan is to resolve Demonic Consultation or Tainted Pact while Oracle is in hand, emptying the library for an immediate win. A dense tutor and fast-mana package makes this line redundant and fast. The secondary route is the Bolas's Citadel/Aetherflux Reservoir/Sensei's Divining Top engine, where Noctis can reanimate key artifacts from the graveyard. Noctis serves mainly as a value engine and fail-safe rather than the central win condition; his lifelink offsets the heavy life payments from fetches, shocks, Citadel, and reanimation.
