Rad Mill by RedemptionN8

Format: Commander

Commander: The Wise Mothman

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Sultai rad-counter and mill deck helmed by The Wise Mothman, built around stacking rad counters on opponents - which force them to mill whenever they cast spells - and converting that milling into +1/+1 counters on your creatures. The primary win conditions are mill (via The Mindskinner, Grindstone, Sphinx's Tutelage, Fraying Sanity, and Mindcrank) and combat with proliferated, counter-stacked beaters like Agent Frank Horrigan, Alpha Deathclaw, and Screeching Scorchbeast. The commander is a repeatable rad source and the deck's signature counter engine, but the 99 is dense with redundant rad sources and mill payoffs, so the plan does not collapse without it. Proliferate effects (Contagion Clasp, Inexorable Tide, Karn's Bastion, Expansion Algorithm) grow both rad counters and creature counters simultaneously, creating a slow, grindy inevitability engine.
