Commander: Sméagol, Helpful Guide

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Golgari graveyard-centric midrange deck built around Smeagol, Helpful Guide. The commander provides a steady stream of land ramp and Ring-tempting triggers, fueling a grind engine. The primary win condition is the infinite combination of Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Walking Ballista for uncounterable damage, with fallback plans of combat damage from Nazgul (eight copies) and drain effects from Blood Artist and Syr Konrad, the Grim. The deck leverages creature sacrifice, recursion, and dredge to fill the graveyard and recur threats repeatedly. It eschews ultra-fast mana for incremental advantage, aiming to outvalue opponents through repeated land-drop triggers and persistent bodies.
