Commander: Shanna, Purifying Blade

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Shanna, Purifying Blade is the deck's core draw engine: every lifelink hit or life-gain trigger is converted into end-step cards. The primary plan is to build a life-gaining board with Lathiel, Exemplar of Light, and Nykthos Paragon, then use Overwhelming Stampede or commander damage to close the game. A secondary path is the Happily Ever After alt-win, made live by Tam, Mindful First-Year's ability to make a creature all five colors. Psychosis Crawler gives a third payoff once Shanna draws a massive hand. There is no hidden commander; Tam is a support piece held for the HEA window.
