Secret Deck by ejacobson

Format: Commander

Commander: The Mindskinner

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

The Mindskinner is the engine and finisher: an unblockable 10/1 that turns all combat damage from your sources into mill for each opponent. The deck plans to deploy it on turns 2-3, attack every turn, and layer in one-shot mill spells (Fractured Sanity, Traumatize, Maddening Cacophony, Cut Your Losses) and Fraying Sanity to double a player's mill. Spark Double and Fireshrieker can multiply the commander's effect. There is no hidden commander; the other legends (Esior, Jace, etc.) are support. The backup plan is a spell-based mill package that still functions if the commander is removed, reinforced by counterspells and combat protection.
