Commander: Ardyn, the Usurper

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Ardyn, the Usurper leads a mono-black discard-and-reanimation deck. The core plan is to loot/dredge powerful demons into the graveyard, reanimate them cheaply, then let Ardyn copy the best creature at combat each turn. A secondary, faster kill comes from an infinite discard loop using Skirge Familiar, Bone Miser, Veinwitch Coven, and Feast of Sanity. Matzalantli and other looters provide filtering, while tutors find combo pieces or reanimation targets. The Soul Stone acts as a hidden commander, returning a creature every upkeep. Ardyn is a force multiplier - he gives all Demons haste, lifelink, and menace and turns graveyard threats into 5/5 Demon copies - but the deck can win without him through the discard engine.
