Commander: Gyrus, Waker of Corpses

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This Jund midrange deck, helmed by Gyrus, Waker of Corpses, marries a +1/+1 counter theme with a reanimation subtheme. The game plan is to ramp aggressively, deploy X-cost hydras and counter-doubling enchantments (Doubling Season, Hardened Scales, Unbound Flourishing), then use Gyrus's attack trigger to reanimate dead creatures from the graveyard as temporary tokens. The deck aims to win through overwhelming combat damage from massive hydras, with Port Razer enabling extra combats to chain attacks across opponents. The commander provides a recurring source of value but is not essential for the core beatdown plan. The deck is slow, light on interaction, and vulnerable to disruption, but it can snowball into an unstoppable board if left unchecked.
