Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Neriv, Heart of the Storm is a Mardu dragon-angel beatdown deck that aims to turn a single hasty attacker into a lethal, doubled-damage strike. The primary plan is to deploy Neriv, give a big flier haste, and use extra combat steps or myriad-style copy effects to multiply damage. Secondary paths include reanimating high-end dragons and angels, and using damage-doubling permanents like Gisela or Twinflame Tyrant to close out games. The commander is the central damage multiplier, but the deck can still win through raw evasive threats and extra combat effects if Neriv is unavailable. The hidden commander is Aurelia, the Warleader, who provides the extra combat step that turns one attack into a kill.
