Commander: Arthur, Marigold Knight

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Arthur, Marigold Knight pilots a Jeskai combat-toolbox that cheats creatures into play during the attack step, then returns them to hand for repeated value. The deck's primary plan is to deploy a low-to-the-ground board, cast Arthur, and use his attack trigger to put a haymaker like Aurelia, the Warleader or Terror of the Peaks onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. Multiple extra-combat cards (Aurelia, the Warleader, Karlach, Fury of Avernus, Scourge of the Throne) chain attacks in a single turn, often finishing with a massive Blightsteel Colossus (equipped with Grafted Exoskeleton for infect) or a Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind + Curiosity infinite damage loop. Token generators (Myrel, Shield of Argive, Skyknight Vanguard, Elspeth, Storm Slayer) widen the board, while Legion Loyalty and Blade of Selves grant myriad for explosive multi-opponent pressure. The deck is aggressive, value-oriented, and resilient through recursion, but lacks traditional tutors and graveyard hate.
