Blitz and Blam by ApprenticeLarge

Commander: Ziatora, the Incinerator

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Jund deck is a sacrifice-dragon value engine. Its primary plan is to deploy high-power creatures-often given haste and card draw by Henzie's blitz-then feed them to Ziatora, the Incinerator at end step for direct damage and three Treasures. Secondary paths use Mr. Orfeo to double Malignus and finish with Chandra's Ignition, or grind value with Etali, Stalking Vengeance, Kokusho, and Rite token sacrifice. Henzie is effectively the hidden commander: the whole curve bends to blitzing 4+ mana creatures. Ziatora's role is both removal and ramp, converting temporary bodies into permanent damage and mana. The deck wins through a one-turn burst rather than infinite combos.
