Upkeeps Matter by DanDar52

Format: Commander

Commander: Obeka, Splitter of Seconds

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a midrange upkeep-value deck built around Obeka, Splitter of Seconds. The plan is to make Obeka connect with double strike and/or extra combats so her trigger gives many extra upkeep steps, then use upkeep drain effects such as Court of Embereth, Blood Tyrant, and Twilight Prophet to kill all opponents in one turn. Sphinx of the Second Sun and The Ninth Doctor serve as hidden phase engines, while copy effects like Spark Double and Extravagant Replication multiply Obeka triggers. The deck is not a fast combo pile; it's a synergistic engine that needs a few turns to assemble its payoff pieces.
