The Mindskinner by Griimdaark_mtg

Format: Commander

Commander: The Mindskinner

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

The deck is a mono-blue 'damage becomes mill' build centered on The Mindskinner, a 10-power unblockable threat that converts every point of combat damage it deals into 1 card milled from every opponent. The primary path is to land the commander early, suit it up with haste/shroud equipment and Fireshrieker, and grind all three libraries down simultaneously. Secondary lines use Traumatize, Fraying Sanity, Kitsune's Technique, and Riverchurn Monument to spike a single library or finish the table after repeated attacks. A heavy looting shell with Jace's Archivist, Windfall, and Mystic Redaction turns discards into global mill, while Undead Alchemist and the Geralfs provide the de facto hidden zombie engine.
