Commander: Kenrith, the Returned King

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Kenrith, the Returned King is a five-color value engine that turns excess mana into haste, life, cards, and reanimation. The deck combines group-hug draw (Font of Mythos, Rites of Flourishing) with goad/pillow-fort pieces (Marisi, Propaganda) while aiming at alt-win finishers: Felidar Sovereign and Approach of the Second Sun. Big haymakers like Grave Titan, Etali, and Ghalta provide combat pressure. Marisi acts as a hidden commander for the goad subtheme. Kenrith's ability suite lets the deck recast threats from graveyards, boost the board, and stay in the game after wipes; in practice, it is a slower value/politics deck rather than a fast combo deck.
