Silverquill by Arkturus92

Format: Commander

Commander: Silverquill, the Disputant

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Orzhov deck builds a wide board of 1/1 Humans, Soldiers and Zombies and wins through combat or incremental drains. Silverquill, the Disputant gives every instant and sorcery casualty 1, so you sacrifice a token to copy removal, draw or token makers for value, but the deck does not need him to function. The real engines are token doublers (Anointed Procession, Ojer Taq, Elspeth) and aristocrat payoffs (Teysa Karlov, Zulaport Cutthroat, Mirkwood Bats) that act as hidden commanders. Primary win is anthem-boosted alpha strikes with Cathars' Crusade or Elesh Norn plus Akroma's Will; secondary wins are drain loops and big Exsanguinate/Torment of Hailfire fueled by Cabal Coffers and Black Market.
