Kefka joker by gadbeaver11

Format: Commander

Commander: Kefka, Court Mage // Kefka, Ruler of Ruin

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Grixis deck is a discard-and-draw control/combo hybrid. Kefka, Court Mage is primarily used front-side: entering or attacking forces each opponent to discard, and the commander converts distinct discarded card types into cards for you. Discard payoffs like Megrim, Waste Not, Feast of Sanity, Magmakin Artillerist, Cryptcaller Chariot, and The Raven Man turn that disruption into damage, tokens, mana, and card advantage. The deck's tightest win is the Curiosity/Niv-Mizzet loop: with Curiosity attached to either Niv-Mizzet and any draw trigger, each draw becomes an infinite damage ping. Kefka, Ruler of Ruin is a late-game draw engine but is not the build's focus; the {8} transform is a finisher only after the front-side plan has run its course.
