No rest for the wicked by Forge8

Format: Commander

Commander: Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Shilgengar, Sire of Famine helms an Orzhov Angel reanimation strategy that turns high-toughness flyers into game-ending value. The deck fills the graveyard with terrifying Angels using targeted tutors and self-mill, then leverages Shilgengar to sacrifice an Angel, generate massive Blood tokens, and trigger a sweeping mass reanimation. Key synergies like Solemnity, Thief of Blood, and mass blink effects circumvent the finality counters imposed by Shilgengar, keeping your resurrected army permanent and reusable. The primary win condition is assembling an overwhelming flying board featuring Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Lyra Dawnbringer, and the oppressive lock of Brisela, Voice of Nightmares, closing the game through unstoppable combat damage.
