Rayami by tharinock

Format: Commander

Commander: Rayami, First of the Fallen

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Rayami, First of the Fallen leads a keyword-soup midrange deck: the commander exiles every nontoken creature that would die, and the deck uses efficient sacrifice outlets and Birthing Pod-style chains to turn cheap keyword creatures (flying, deathtouch, hexproof, indestructible) into a self-ordering keyword pool that makes Rayami unblockable and hard to remove. The secondary, hidden-commander engine is Prime Speaker Vannifar/Birthing Pod, which converts fodder into bigger threats while feeding Rayami. The backup path is straight midrange beatdown with Questing Beast, Sab-Sunen, and Nighthawk Scavenger, usually wearing Inquisitor's Flail or Rhonas's pump to close with commander damage.
