Gameplay

This is a legendary matters deck built with the restriction that all non-land cards be legendary. Even with the restriction, the deck seeks to be hyper-aggressive by making the primary commander, Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful, huge as you play the deck's many legendary permanents to give him +1/+1 counters. Make him even bigger with the deck's many legendary equipment such as Blackblade Reforged, Crown of Gondor, Luxior, Giada's Gift, and Embercleave. Since Yoshimaru has partner, we are running him alongside Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh. While his primary purpose is to ensure Yoshimaru will be at least a 2/2 on turn two, Rograkh's many keywords make him a solid second option to buff with equipment and threaten commander damage.

The deck also runs a high number of backgrounds since they give extra benefit for having two commanders. Put even more +1/+1 counters on Yoshimaru with Far Traveler and Noble Heritage. Create a board of creature tokens with Veteran Soldier and Dragon Cultist. Improve your attacks with Flaming Fist, Guild Artisan, Popular Entertainer, and Tavern Brawler.

Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar and Keleth, Sunmane Familiar are also powerful includes in the 99 to speed up your win condition. You can also swap them in as alternate commanders!

Tales from Darb the Bard

I am a casual, budget player and my goal is to always keep my commander decks within $100 or close to it. Any suggestions to improve the deck while still keeping it within budget are appreciated!
