I Dina Know What Im Doin

Format: Commander

Commander: Dina, Soul Steeper

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Dina, Soul Steeper leads a two-color aristocrat deck whose real plan is to find a compact infinite loop. The commander is a cheap optional drain engine: her life-gain trigger turns incidental lifegain into damage and lets Dina plus Exquisite Blood close the game. The primary kill is Witherbloom Apprentice plus Chain of Smog; backups are Phyrexian Altar/Gravecrawler loops with Blood Artist or Bastion, Bloodthirsty Conqueror plus Exquisite Blood, and Aetherflux Reservoir. Dina, Essence Brewer acts as a hidden value commander, sacrificing creatures to draw and gain life, while Professor Dellian Fel supplies an emblem backup. The deck is redundant and fast, but fragile on the stack, and relies on tutors more than interaction.
