Commander: Taskmaster, Mercenary Mimic

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a control-oriented Dimir mill deck. It slowly fills everyone's graveyard while reanimating large threats, then wins by removing the last fraction of each library with repeated 'half your library' effects. Taskmaster, Mercenary Mimic acts as a flexible copy engine, duplicating Fleet Swallower, Terisian Mindbreaker, or the best creature on any battlefield/graveyard. Secondary paths include Duskmantle Guildmage life-loss combo, Notion Thief/Jin-Gitaxias draw denial, and storm-mill via Brain Freeze. No hidden commander exists; Lazav, Superior Spider-Man, and Body Double serve the same copy-and-reanimate role from the 99.
