Talion, the Kindly Lord by Maggot4Life28

Format: Commander

Commander: Talion, the Kindly Lord

Bracket: 5

Deck overview

Talion, the Kindly Lord leads a Dimir control-combo deck. You choose a number as Talion enters and draw cards while opponents lose life when they match it. The primary plan is to control the table with counters and removal, draw extra cards, and win with Thassa's Oracle plus Demonic Consultation or Tainted Pact. Secondary paths use Displacer Kitten and Hullbreaker Horror to create infinite mana and bounce loops with Aether Channeler, Venser, Shaper Savant, Sol Ring and Mana Vault. Talion is a draw and drain engine, not a combo piece. Displacer Kitten acts as a hidden commander that enables flicker value and infinite combos when Talion is not needed.
