Vren by RPTM6

Format: Commander

Commander: Vren, the Relentless

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Vren, the Relentless is a single-faced commander and the deck's only engine; there is no hidden commander. This is a Dimir control-sacrifice build that forces opponents to lose creatures, exiles them with Vren, and converts every death into a growing army of Rat tokens. The primary plan is to grind out the board with edicts and removal, then win through an unblockable Rat alpha strike. Secondary paths use Marrow-Gnawer to multiply token counts, Echo to copy Vren's trigger, and token synergies with Genesis Chamber, Idol of Oblivion, and Mister Fantastic. The deck has no combo finish and wins almost entirely through combat.
