Aristotron by stevo166

Format: Commander

Commander: Hei Bai, Spirit of Balance

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Hei Bai, Spirit of Balance leads an Orzhov aristocrat-Voltron deck that grows a single threat with sacrifice fodder. Hei Bai gains two +1/+1 counters whenever it enters or attacks if you sacrifice another creature or artifact, and moves those counters when it leaves. The deck feeds it with Clue, Ally, Spirit and Faerie tokens from Tolls of War, Suki, Bastion of Remembrance and Bitterbloom Bearer, then wins through commander damage backed by incremental drain from Bastion, Syr Konrad and The Meathook Massacre. Vincent Valentine // Galian Beast acts as a hidden second commander that snowballs off opponent creature deaths and provides a resilient trampling backup body.
