Commander: Celes, Rune Knight

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Mardu graveyard-reanimator deck built around Celes, Rune Knight as a hybrid loot-engine and team-anthem. The plan is to fill the graveyard early with self-mill and discard, then cheat out high-impact creatures with cheap reanimation; every creature that enters from the graveyard triggers Celes's +1/+1 counter pump, turning a board of 2/2s into a lethal flyer army under Abzan Falconer. There are no infinite combos - instead the deck chains recursion through Karmic Guide, Sun Titan, Carmen, Cruel Skymarcher, Guardian Scalelord, and Squall, SeeD Mercenary, grinding through wipes by design. Table-wide reach comes from Gau, Feral Youth and Summon: Bahamut, while Breach the Multiverse mills everyone and steals the best creatures. The commander is efficient at 4 mana and recastable, but the 99's reanimation shell is deep enough to run without her.
