Riku Birds by Jarbo

Format: Commander

Commander: Riku of Many Paths

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Riku of Many Paths commands a flexible Temur spellslinger deck built around modal spells and token generation. Casting modal instants and sorceries triggers Riku to exile cards for card advantage, distribute plus-one counters, and create flying Bird tokens. Trigger multipliers like Veyran, Voice of Duality and Roaming Throne exponentially increase this value, flooding the battlefield with evasive threats. The primary win condition converts wide boards of buffed creatures into lethal combat damage using Herald of Secret Streams for unblockable attacks or Great Train Heist for extra combats. Secondary lines leverage Time Warp and high-impact Season spells to close out the game.
