Commander: Rielle, the Everwise

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Rielle, the Everwise pilots a blue-red discard-and-draw engine rather than a conventional creature plan. The main strategy is to cast wheels and looting effects with Rielle in play, turning the first discard of each turn into a second draw, then converting all that card flow into damage via Glint-Horn Buccaneer, Magmakin Artillerist, Brallin, and Psychosis Crawler. The most compact kill is Underworld Breach plus Path of the Pyromancer, a loop that keeps discarding, drawing, and producing red mana for an outlet. Secondary paths are Laboratory Maniac self-mill and a hasty token army from The Locust God. There is no double-faced or hidden commander; The Locust God is a secondary engine rather than the build-around commander.
