Cecil FF by user9309384

Format: Commander

Commander: Cecil, Dark Knight // Cecil, Redeemed Paladin

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Cecil, Dark Knight // Cecil, Redeemed Paladin is a transformative Orzhov life-total deck. Cecil's front face uses deathtouch and a life-loss trigger to drop to half life and flip; the back face gives attacking creatures indestructible, turning a wide legendary knight/human board into a resilient combat finish. The primary plan is to turn life swings into drain: extort, Children of Korlis, Tainted Sigil, Sorin, and Gray Merchant feed Sanguine Bond and Lunar Convocation. Felidar Sovereign is the fastest pure win, while Exsanguinate, Primal Odin, or Cecil with Blackblade/Rogue's Passage are secondary closers. There is no hidden commander; the deck is built around Cecil's flip and a legendary life-gain shell.
