Commander deck that builds on Basandra's ability (manipulate combat) by forcing players to attack, and then having punishing blockers.

Forcing to attack is supported by Basandra as well by Grand Melee,War's Toll, Total War, Gideon, and Fumiko. There's also a subtheme of complicating the attack phase : Stun Sniper,Ghostly Prison, Maze of Ith.

Punishing effects include Spear of Heliod, Hixus, Desert, Aether Membrane, Michiko, and Sunblast Angel.

To help the deck, I have included a number of Toolboxes with silver bullets for specific problems:

1. Sunforger Toolbox which includes Chaos Warp and Oblation (Commander Tuckers), Return to dust + Orim's thunder (Artifact + Enchantment Control), Boros Charm (Planswalker Killer + Anti-Wipe protection), Lightning Helix + Warleader's Helix (Creature Kill), Path to Exile (For Indestructibles), Lapse of Uncertainty (Counterspell), Reiterate (Swiss army Knife)

2. Stoneforge Mystic Toolbox: Sunforger, Skullclamp, Darksteel Plate and Loxodon Warhammer

3. Academy Rector toolbox: Grand Melee + War's Tool (Basandra backups), Ghostly Prison (Anti-weeni), Spear of Heliod

4. Imperial Recruiter: Stoneforge Mystic, Academy rector, Duergar Hedgemage and Duplicant are the most common targets)

5. Hoarding Dragon: A lot of targets, but 50% of the time it's Staff of Nin, the rest of the time mostly Sunforger or Wurmcoil Engine
