Rad deck by LLunwog

Format: Commander

Commander: The Wise Mothman

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Sultai value-midrange deck built around The Wise Mothman, turning rad counters and mass milling into +1/+1 counter growth. The main plan is to stack rad counters on every player, let the end-step mills feed The Wise Mothman's counter trigger, and then compound growth with effects like Branching Evolution, Corpsejack Menace, Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider, Hardened Scales, and Innkeeper's Talent. Proliferate effects - Evolution Sage, Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus, Sword of Truth and Justice, Recon Craft Theta, and Thrummingbird - are the engine that keeps rad and counters scaling together. The deck contains no infinite combos; it wins through evasive combat damage from large flying/trampling Mutants and Zombie tokens generated by Screeching Scorchbeast and Vault 12: The Necropolis. Mechanized Production is a nominal alternate win condition but is not meaningfully supported by the rest of the list.
