Myrkul, Lord of Bones token-reanimator-aristocrats-d&t.

The challenge: Myrkul has been talked about as an Abzan Enchantments commander, but I don't think that's quite right. Really Myrkul is a creature deck that focuses making strong static effects and activated abilities harder to clear. Putting strong effects on creatures is traditionally a way to balance these effects, as creatures are traditionally easier to remove. Myrkul unbalances this by both undermining the removal trade-off through recursion and then putting the effect out of reach of more common removal by removing the Creature type.

I view this as a slower deck, driven largely by Myrkul's 7 mana value. To play with this, we need creatures that have valid board presence in the early game which slows down other players and soak up early removal. We will need recursion to regain access to those effects later, once Myrkul is on board, and he needs to be protected, but then you are moving into overwhelming opponents with a strong board or combo.

Specifics: Devoted Druid infinite mana, with Torment of Hailfire, Tayam, Luminous Enigma and Hydra Broodmaster as the key outlet for it.

Fynn, the Fangbearer with Ogre Slumlord or Archetype of Finality for Infect win.
