Cycle Commander by Psyga315

Format: Commander

Commander: Derevi, Empyrial Tactician

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Bant deck is built around Derevi, Empyrial Tactician as a repeatable untap/tap engine and Lieutenant enabler. The primary plan is to develop mana, cast Derevi early, then use Lieutenant creatures and token multipliers to finish with a wide, trampling combat step. Secondary paths include planeswalker ultimates (Teferi, Garruk, Estrid) and value from cards like Rhystic Study and Aminatou's Augury. With no infinite combo, the deck wins through incremental but explosive token combat. There is no single hidden commander; Thrasios, Ezuri, and Roon act as backup value legends rather than build-around commanders.
