Blink 185

Format: Commander

Commander: Elenda and Azor

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an Esper blink/value deck helmed by Elenda and Azor, built to generate overwhelming card advantage and token armies through repeated flicker effects. The primary strategy involves deploying value creatures with potent enter-the-battlefield triggers, then using a dense suite of instant-speed blink spells (Cloudshift, Ephemerate, Eerie Interlude, Ghostly Flicker) and permanent-based engines (Teleportation Circle, Soulherder, Brago, King Eternal) to re-trigger them turn after turn. The commander serves as a massive draw engine on attack and a token generator at end step, turning each combat into a significant resource swing. The deck also includes a small infinite-mana combo (Peregrine Drake + Ghostly Flicker + Archaeomancer) to close out games, with backup wins through combat damage from the commander or from drain effects via Corpse Knight, Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim, and Kambal, Profiteering Mayor. The overall plan is to grind out advantage, protect the board with mass blink and indestructible effects, and eventually overwhelm opponents with sheer card quantity and lifelinking tokens.
