Gavi Full Power by Rake

Format: Commander

Commander: Gavi, Nest Warden

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Gavi, Nest Warden is a cycling-value deck: her first free cycle per turn and second-draw Dino token make every cycler a source of card advantage and board presence. The primary plan is to stall with instant-speed cycling removal, Astral Slide/Drift, and mass sweepers while Drake Haven, Valiant Rescuer, Drannith Stinger, and The Locust God convert draws into tokens and pings. New Perspectives and Fluctuator turn a late hand into a huge Zenith Flare or a Psychosis Crawler drain. The Brallin/Shabraz pair is a hidden secondary engine that tutors each other, triggers discard/draw payoffs, and can close games. Gavi herself is an enabler, not a finisher, and rarely needs to attack.
