Gale Scion by KriessZion

Format: Commander

Commander: Scion of Halaster and Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Dimir spellslinger-combo deck helmed by Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy with Scion of Halaster as the Background. The deck's engine is casting instants and sorceries from hand, which Gale then lets you re-cast from the graveyard, generating massive card advantage and token armies from Talrand, Sky Summoner, Murmuring Mystic, and Sedgemoor Witch. The primary win condition is the Demonic Consultation + Thassa's Oracle / Laboratory Maniac / Jace, Wielder of Mysteries package, with Time Sieve (fueled by the token makers and Mechanized Production as an alternate outlet) providing a secondary extra-turn engine. The deck also features a healthy density of free countermagic like Fierce Guardianship, Deadly Rollick, and Mana Drain to protect its combo turns.
