Emet-Selch, Unsundered by user3459391

Format: Commander

Commander: Emet-Selch, Unsundered // Hades, Sorcerer of Eld

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Self-mill Dimir deck built around flipping Emet-Selch, Unsundered into Hades, Sorcerer of Eld. The front face loots and transforms when the graveyard holds fourteen or more cards; the back face lets you play cards from your graveyard during your turn, while exiling anything that would be put there. The deck therefore stocks the yard before the flip, then uses Hades with recursion payoffs like Emet-Selch of the Third Seat and Lier, Disciple of the Drowned to chain spells and lands. The primary win chains half-library milling spells (Traumatize, Cut Your Losses, Singularity Rupture, Riverchurn Monument) to empty opponents' libraries, with Syr Konrad and Laboratory Maniac as alternate finishers. Emet-Selch of the Third Seat serves as a hidden commander, a second graveyard-casting engine.
