New Untitled Deck by Midwurst

Commander: Bard, King of Dale

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an Azorius value-and-swarm deck built around the 6-mana legend Bard, King of Dale. Both of his abilities are multiplicative: every non-first draw becomes two cards, and every token creation is doubled. The 99 leans into small Human/Soldier/Spirit token generators - the recruit creatures like Bard's Company and Patient Instructor, afterlife bodies like Ministrant of Obligation, chroma goats from Springjack Shepherd, and The Council of Four's Knights - plus a +1/+1 counter subtheme (Bard the Bowman, Lakeshore Apothecary, Skyknight Squire) that Abzan Falconer turns into a flying army. The deck wins through a wide, lorded alpha strike (Bard, Heir of Girion, Thistledown Liege, Harbin, Vanguard Aviator) rather than any infinite combo, backed by a dense instant-speed interaction suite and a small blink/reanimation package (Abuelo, Ancestral Echo, Ephemerate, Return to the Ranks). It is a fair, resilient midrange deck whose ceiling scales with Bard staying on the battlefield.
