Endstep Medium by jwill

Format: Commander

Commander: Thalisse, Reverent Medium

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Thalisse, Reverent Medium is a token-avalanche commander: every token created in a turn becomes an extra end-step spirit payout. The deck combines early token generators (Bitterblossom, Black Market Connections, Lingering Souls) with token multipliers (Anointed Procession, Mondrak, Glory Dominus, Ojer Taq, Kaya) to turn six or seven mana into a 20-40 creature board. Secondary paths are drain-trigger aristocrats (Bastion, Corpse Knight, Elas il-Kor, Meathook, Mirkwood Bats) and a deterministic sacrifice loop using Phyrexian Altar, Pitiless Plunderer, and Twilight Drover. Divine Visitation upgrades the swarm to angels, and Moonshaker Cavalry provides a one-turn finish. There is no hidden commander; Ojer Taq's land face is a utility transformation, not a second plan.
