Combos for life by Mr.MilesJr

Format: Commander

Commander: Bartolomé del Presidio

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Bartolome del Presidio is an Orzhov aristocrats commander whose activated ability is the deck's central sacrifice outlet. The primary plan is self-mill into reanimation, then repeatedly sacrifice creatures and artifacts to Bartolome, converting each death into life loss through Zulaport Cutthroat, Bastion of Remembrance, Agent of the Iron Throne, and Marionette Apprentice while Bartolome grows. Secondary paths are a beatdown curve of Sun Titan, The Warring Triad, and The Grim Captain, plus a one-shot commander-damage kill with Rogue's Passage. The deck is not a true combo deck; there is no hidden commander, and it wins through incremental drain and a large evasive commander.
