Skullbriar, the Walking Grave (Copy)

Format: Commander

Commander: Skullbriar, the Walking Grave

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Skullbriar is the entire game plan: with haste it attacks on turn 2, and its persistent +1/+1 counters turn every subsequent hit into a larger commander-damage swing. The deck is built around that plan with counter doublers (Hardened Scales, Winding Constrictor, Cursed Wombat), cheap pump, unblockable effects (Rogue's Passage, Key to the City, Psychic Paper), and fight spells to clear blockers. There is no hidden commander or secondary combo; the backup plan is generic +1/+1 beatdown with other counter creatures while recursion and protection keep Skullbriar online. The deck closes via 21 Commander damage by turns 6-7.
