Indominus Rex, Alpha by XoloMTG

Format: Commander

Commander: Indominus Rex, Alpha

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Sultai midrange list is built around Indominus Rex, Alpha, a five-mana 6/6 that discards creature cards as it enters, collects a keyword counter for each matching ability those cards had, and then draws a card per counter. The 99 is stacked with dense keyword bodies - Sire of Seven Deaths, Scavenged Brawler, Questing Beast, Yarok, the Desecrated - so one cast often produces a flying, trampling, deathtouch threat and a fistful of cards. Flicker spells recast the trigger, while The Ozolith, Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider, and Innkeeper's Talent lock those counters in place. A supporting reanimation package (Reanimate, Animate Dead, Living Death, Rise of the Dark Realms) turns discarded bombs into a second wave. There are no infinite combo lines; the deck wins through combat with oversized, keyword-loaded creatures and the occasional mass-reanimation blowout. Indominus Rex, Alpha is the primary draw engine and Voltron body, but the 99 can still function as greedy Sultai stompy/reanimator if the commander is answered.
