Seifer by BBoothboy

Format: Commander

Commander: Seifer, Balamb Rival

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a black-red goad-and-combat deck helmed by Seifer, Balamb Rival, built to weaponize opponents' boards against each other. Seifer goads a creature every time you attack, and his second ability hands out deathtouch to any creature attacking an opponent that gets double-blocked - turning profitable blocks into trades. The deck backs this political core with a compact equipment voltron package (Buster Sword, Embercleave, Genji Glove, Ultima Weapon) that turns your own attackers into finishers, plus a reanimation subtheme (Random Encounter, Zombify, Reanimate) and a drain engine anchored by Syr Konrad, the Grim and Bastion of Remembrance. It wins through attrition: goad forces the table to bleed itself, deathtouch punishes blockers, and your equipment-clad threats close out the last life totals.
