Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a "donate bad creatures" deck helmed by Jon Irenicus, Shattered One. The core plan is to deploy creatures with crippling drawbacks - demons that demand upkeep sacrifices, self-harming horrors, and ticking time bombs - then hand them to opponents via Jon's end-step ability. Donated creatures gain two +1/+1 counters, become goaded (forced to attack, never at you), gain "can't be sacrificed," and Jon draws a card whenever they attack. The deck wins through attrition: goaded attackers grind down life totals, Archfiend of the Dross's oil counters eliminate an opponent in four upkeeps, and Xathrid Demon and Painful Quandary drain life. Secondary value comes from Assault Suit (making a donated creature attack for every opponent) and a modest bounce/removal suite. It is a slow, grindy, commander-centric strategy with almost no tutoring and no fast mana.
