Queen's shadows by Melovind

Format: Commander

Commander: Inalla, Archmage Ritualist

Bracket: 5

Deck overview

This is a high-power Grixis cEDH combo deck helmed by Inalla, Archmage Ritualist. The plan is turbo-reanimator and storm: dump key Wizards into the graveyard with Entomb, Buried Alive, or Unmarked Grave, reanimate them for explosive ETB value, and close through Thassa's Oracle or Underworld Breach + Brain Freeze. Inalla's eminence (active from the command zone) doubles Wizard ETBs for a single mana, turning Spellseeker, Bloodline Necromancer, Ruthless Technomancer, and Scholar of the Ages into two-for-ones without ever needing her on the battlefield. Dense fast mana (Lion's Eye Diamond, Mana Vault, Dark Ritual, Cabal Ritual, Chrome Mox) fuels turn-three and turn-four kills, backed by a deep free-counter suite and premium tutors. Secondary lines include Hoarding Broodlord convoke chains, Finale of Promise recursion, and Kefka, Court Mage value. The deck wins through layered, redundant combo channels rather than combat.
