Xantcha by Cesarclem

Format: Commander

Commander: Xantcha, Sleeper Agent

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Xantcha, Sleeper Agent leads a Rakdos group-slug deck that treats her as a reusable draw-and-drain engine rather than a beatdown commander. The primary plan is to force combat, create tokens and treasures, then convert deaths and sacrifices into mass damage (Mayhem Devil, Blood Artist, Marionette Master) or set up the hidden Repercussion + Blasphemous Act wipe. A goad/forced-attack package (Kardur, Disrupt Decorum, Goblin Diplomats) keeps opponents off your back. There is no true hidden commander; Varchild's War-Riders and Repercussion are the closest combo companions. Xantcha can also finish via commander damage, but the deck is built for incremental, board-wide attrition.
