Loki? by Geurimja

Format: Commander

Commander: Basim Ibn Ishaq

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Basim Ibn Ishaq is a historic-spell voltron engine in a UB shell built around cheap artifacts. The primary plan is to cast a historic spell each turn - often a 0-mana artifact - to draw a card and make Basim unblockable, then equip him with Swords to accumulate commander damage. The deck can pivot to a one-turn kill with Vorpal Sword, which makes even a single unblocked hit lethal, and Ramses, Assassin Lord acts as a hidden commander, converting Assassin attacks into a game win. Secondary beats use Cranial Plating or Excalibur to pump Basim; Genji Glove's double strike and extra combat close out in one turn.
