Commander: Squall, SeeD Mercenary

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

An Orzhov aristocrats/reanimator deck built around Squall's double-strike recursion. It fills the graveyard with cheap mill and dredge, then uses Squall's two combat-damage triggers to return small permanents each turn. The main kill loops Zulapat Cutthroat and Malakir Blood-Priest through a sacrifice outlet, with Priest of Forgotten Gods adding extra life loss; Fang, Fearless l'Cie acts as a hidden commander, turning every graveyard exit into cards and Bats. The deck also pressures with equipment and Liliana walkers. It is a midrange value deck whose ceiling is the eight-point drain cycle rather than a one-turn combo. It is resilient and grindy, but relies on combat connection and has no counterspells.
