Talion, Celebrimbor secret commander by JesseBright0

Format: Commander

Commander: Celes, Rune Knight

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Mardu Knight-reanimator midrange deck helmed by Celes, Rune Knight. The plan mills and discards aggressively, then reanimates and recasts Knights (especially the nine Nazgul) from the graveyard while Celes blankets the board with +1/+1 counters. Haakon, Stromgald Scourge turns the graveyard into a second hand for Knights, Anger supplies haste, and Ring-temptation payoffs (Frodo, Sauron's Bane, Witch-king of Angmar, Call of the Ring) create alternate win paths. Secondary pressure comes from go-wide tokens (Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Basri's Lieutenant), drain (Syr Konrad, the Grim), and one-shot finishers like Summon: Primal Odin. The deck wins through overwhelming combat inevitability backed by dense recursion and flicker protection rather than infinite combos.
