We Arrange a Little Accident by ApprenticeLarge

Format: Commander

Commander: Lord Xander, the Collector

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Lord Xander, the Collector leads an attrition-control build that grinds opponents with half-library mills, half-hand discard, and half-board sacrifice triggers while a spell-copying package (Anhelo, Twinning Staff, Parnesse, Kess/Cormela recursion) turns removal and draw spells into multiples. Tokens and Treasures from Young Pyromancer, Storm-Kiln Artist, and Ruthless Knave feed casualty costs and ramp into copied Crackle with Power as the primary finisher. Theft effects like Hostage Taker and Zara pressure opponents while providing sacrifice fodder. There is no true hidden commander, but Anhelo and Kess act as lieutenants; the deck can attack with Xander, but its actual goldfish is a replicated burn spell.
