Blech by Starblind

Format: Commander

Commander: Blech, Loafing Pest

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Blech, Loafing Pest is the deck's engine: every lifegain event puts a +1/+1 counter on every Pest, Bat, Insect, Snake, or Spider you control. The primary plan is to combine cheap attack-trigger lifegain creatures (Teacher's Pest, Shopkeeper's Bane, token creators such as Moseo) with token production from Turn Stones, Pest Rescuer, and Beledros, turning each combat into several Blech triggers that grow a wide board. Secondary paths are drain via Blood Artist/Zulaport Cutthroat/Mirkwood Bats and graveyard recursion through Meren/Cauldron. Eccentric Pestfinder is a support engine, not a hidden commander. There are no infinite combos; wins come from large pumped combat swings or repeated drains.
