Lorehold Theory Crafting by BeelzeInfinity

Format: Commander

Commander: Lorehold, the Historian

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Lorehold, the Historian is a draw-and-discard engine for a graveyard-recursion and Spirit-token deck. The primary plan is to cast Lorehold early, use its upkeep triggers to turn spare cards into three draws per turn cycle, and pair those discards with Containment Construct, Conspiracy Theorist, or Currency Converter to exile cards from the graveyard. Quintorius, Field Historian is the hidden commander/war engine: every card that leaves the graveyard creates a 3/2 Spirit. Secondary paths are commander-damage beats with haste and a Moonshaker Cavalry overrun. There is no hard infinite combo; the deck wins through recursion value, Spirit tokens, and one massive flying alpha.
