Commander: Norman Osborn // Green Goblin

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Grixis connive/discard engine built around the transformation pair Norman Osborn // Green Goblin, with a hidden secondary commander in Kefka, Court Mage // Kefka, Ruler of Ruin. The front side of the commander is a cheap, unblockable conniver that fills the graveyard; the back side turns every nonland card in the graveyard into a mayhem spell and discounts spells cast from the graveyard by {2}. The deck plans to discard and connive cards into the graveyard, then re-cast them for value while triggering discard payoffs like Glint-Horn Buccaneer, Bone Miser, and Archfiend of Ifnir. Its primary wins are compact infinite loops - most often Kefka, Ruler of Ruin plus Skirge Familiar and Glint-Horn Buccaneer - with All Will Be One, Psychosis Crawler, and mass reanimation as alternate kill channels. Overall, this is a tutor-heavy, graveyard-centric midrange combo deck.
