The Sun King by qippoz

Format: Commander

Commander: King T'Challa // Black Panther, Hope Enduring

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

King T'Challa's front face is the true engine: each opponent's second draw in every turn draws you a card, and the deck is built entirely around maximizing that trigger. Symmetrical draw pieces (Howling Mine, Kami, Dictate, Temple Bell) turn every turn cycle into a card-drawing storm, feeding token generators and ultimately two win paths-casting Approach of the Second Sun twice or emptying your library with Laboratory Maniac/Jace. The back face, Black Panther, is a backup double-strike beatdown only; it is rarely transformed because the front ability is what wins. A strong pillow-fort suite (Propaganda, Ghostly Prison, Sphere of Safety) buys time for the slow draw engine.
