Terra Squad by ranundine

Format: Commander

Commander: Terra, Herald of Hope

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a Mardu graveyard-value deck built around Terra, Herald of Hope, who mills two cards each combat and can reanimate a small creature (power 3 or less) when she deals combat damage. The core plan is to mill yourself aggressively, then use Terra's trigger and a dense suite of reanimation spells-Reanimate, Sun Titan, Smile at Death, The Soul Stone-to recur value pieces and build an overwhelming board. Secondary win conditions include the incremental drain of Syr Konrad, the Grim, the free-spell engine of Kefka, Dancing Mad, and the mass reanimation of Rise of the Dark Realms and Joshua, Phoenix's Dominant's back face. The deck is slow, linear, and heavily reliant on the graveyard, but it can grind out opponents with repeated recursion and efficient removal.
