discarded dwarves by drx879

Format: Commander

Commander: Balin, Loremaster

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a mono-red Dwarf/legendary/artifact deck built around Balin, Loremaster and the **Storied** mechanic. The goal is to resolve three artifacts, legendaries, or Sagas so that Storied is online permanently, then use Balin and every subsequent Dwarf-enters trigger as a discard-hand, draw-X, and burn-X engine against the whole table. The deck pairs this with Treasure generation, ritual mana, and discard payoffs such as Living Laser, Glint-Horn Buccaneer, and Cool but Rude. It has no compact infinite combos; instead, it wins through repeated Balin-style bursts, amplified damage from Torbran, Thane of Red Fell and The Rollercrusher Ride, and a huge Devastating Onnslaught token burst when enough mana is assembled.
