Format: Commander

Commander: Haldan, Avid Arcanist and Pako, Arcane Retriever

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Pako, Arcane Retriever is the engine and win condition: haste lets it attack the turn it lands, exiling top cards and growing off noncreatures, while Haldan, Avid Arcanist turns those exiled noncreature spells into castable gas. The primary plan is Pako voltron commander damage, accelerated by unblockable effects and extra combats. Secondary paths use the same cast-from-exile triggers to produce Wolf/Spawn tokens and copy spells with Nalfeshnee or The Twelfth Doctor. The deck is built around Pako first; Haldan is the support half rather than a hidden commander, and both faces must work together to finish all three opponents.
