Minthara EDH by ViWalking

Format: Commander

Commander: Minthara, Merciless Soul

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Minthara, Merciless Soul is the engine and anthem: the deck generates experience counters by sacrificing permanents each turn, then turns those counters into a global +N/+0. The primary plan is an aristocrats/token grind: recursive creatures, free sacrifice outlets, and drain payoffs. Secondary paths are a go-wide combat finish with Wyrm's Crossing Patrol and Call for Unity, and a Gray Merchant blink line. Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion acts as a hidden commander by doubling experience counters; Metastatic Evangel turns Gravecrawler loops into extra experience. Minthara's ward scales with experience, making her hard to remove once the engine is online.
