Format: Commander

Commander: Kefka, Court Mage // Kefka, Ruler of Ruin

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Grixis spellslinger deck built around a Wizard-tribal "cast a noncreature spell, punish everyone" engine. Kefka, Court Mage's front face is a discard-and-draw engine that refuels the chain on entry and attack, while the back face - Kefka, Ruler of Ruin - turns every point of opponent life loss during your turn into cards, which is enormous once the ping package is online. The core loop is simple: deploy a pinger like Guttersnipe, Coruscation Mage, Black Waltz No. 3, or Vivi Ornitier, then multiply the damage with Solphim, Mayhem Dominus, Fiery Emancipation, and Kuja, Genome Sorcerer's back face, and double the triggers with Veyran, Voice of Duality, Harmonic Prodigy, and Naban, Dean of Iteration. Wins come from chained pings, a stormed-out Grapeshot, big X-spells like Banefire and Jaya's Immolating Inferno, or a Bolas's Citadel top-deck chain.
