Haldan & Pako by SashimiNinja

Format: Commander

Commander: Pako, Arcane Retriever and Haldan, Avid Arcanist

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Temur deck uses Pako, Arcane Retriever as a rapid Voltron threat and card engine while utilizing Haldan, Avid Arcanist to cast the exiled noncreature cards. The primary plan accelerates Pako out as early as possible to exile cards, grow into a lethal attacker, and gain card advantage. The deck secures victories by chaining multiple extra turns and extra combat steps, such as Time Warp, Relentless Assault, or Aggravated Assault paired with Bear Umbra. While Haldan lets you cast spells from all players, Pako can also finish opponents independently through massive commander damage and evasive combat.
