Commander: Ardyn, the Usurper

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a mono-black Demon tribal deck built around Ardyn's graveyard-token ability and a Liliana's Contract alternate win. The primary plan is to ramp into Demons, use Ardyn's Starscourge to exile creature cards from graveyards and make 5/5 Demon copies, then win either through hasty, menacing, lifelinking Demon beatdown or by assembling four different Demon names for the Contract. Secondary lines use Buried Alive plus reanimation, value engines like Phyrexian Arena and Doom Whisperer, and mass recursion from Bringer of the Last Gift and Rise of the Dark Realms. There is no hidden commander; the deck is a straightforward Ardyn Demon-tribal build.
