Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Celes, Rune Knight leads a Mardu aristocrats and reanimation combo deck that leverages entering-from-graveyard triggers to fuel infinite loops and combat buffs. Celes acts as both a filtering engine and a +1/+1 counter distributor whenever creatures return from the graveyard. This ability immediately negates persist penalties, allowing creatures like Murderous Redcap, Putrid Goblin, and Lesser Masticore to loop endlessly with sacrifice outlets like Goblin Bombardment and Umbral Collar Zealot. The deck also executes Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward flicker loops with Animate Dead. Backed by versatile reanimation spells, recursion, and stax protection, the deck reliably pivots between instant combo kills and wide, counter-boosted aggressive boards.
