Blech by ChrisMcCann0

Format: Commander

Commander: Blech, Loafing Pest

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

The deck is a Golgari life-gain counter machine built around Blech, Loafing Pest. It turns each point of life gained into +1/+1 counters across your Pest, Bat, Insect, Snake, and Spider board, using landfall creatures and Food tokens to trigger the engine repeatedly. The primary plan is incremental creature growth and combat, with a secondary drain theme via Sanguine Bond, Professor Dellian Fel's emblem, and Exsanguinate. The commander is the central counter engine, but if he is removed the deck can pivot to a slower and less explosive drain route. There is no hidden commander; the deck is a straightforward Blech build.
