Shanid, Sleepers' Scourge by DRowntree

Format: Commander

Commander: Shanid, Sleepers' Scourge

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Shanid, Sleepers' Scourge leads a Mardu legendary Knights tribal deck that wins by going wide. Shanid gives other legends menace and draws a card whenever you play a legendary land or cast a legendary spell, fueling a steady stream of Knights, tokens, and anthems. The primary plan is to build a board with Adeline, The Circle of Loyalty, and Vanquisher's Banner, then close with Knights' Charge drain, double strike from War of the Last Alliance, or overwhelming anthems like Flowering of the White Tree. Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale acts as a hidden commander, turning equipped attacks into cards and free equips. The deck has no infinite combo and relies on two combat steps to eliminate the table.
