Commander: The Sentry, Golden Guardian

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Built around The Sentry, Golden Guardian, this mono-white deck blends pillow-fort stax, politics, and an equipment-based commander-damage clock. The Sentry hands an opponent a 5/5 indestructible Void token that must attack each combat; the deck's taxes (Ghostly Prison, Norn's Annex, Archangel of Tithes) and goad effects (Bloodthirsty Blade, Martial Impetus) redirect that pressure. Meanwhile, an extensive blink/ETB package centered on Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines, Sun Titan, and Teleportation Circle generates value and recursion. Wins come from suiting up The Sentry with Warhammer and Duelist's Heritage for a 21+ one-shot, or from Aetherflux Reservoir once lifegain totals 50+. Elesh Norn acts as the hidden commander for the engine.
