Commander deckBRU
Doctor Doom, King of Latveria
Weaponize discard effects and wheels to drain opponents and generate massive board value, using recursion and pitch effects to turn every discarded card into power.
Asked for“**Commander:** Doctor Doom, King of Latveria Build a **Power Level 7–8** EDH deck. Not cEDH, but strong, synergistic, and fun. The deck should support Doctor Doom's strategy while using **discard as a resource**. Main themes: * Discard value (Bone Miser, Archfiend of Ifnir, Waste Not) * Wheels (Windfall, Dark Deal, Whispering Madness, Wheel of Misfortune) * Graveyard recursion (Oskar, Reanimate, Victimize, Underworld Breach) * Land discard/value (Seismic Assault, Land's Edge, Dakmor Salvage, Crucible of Worlds) * Free casting and alternative value (Nico Minoru, Lady Loki, impulse draw) * Clone/copy effects (Vizier of Many Faces) Keep Marvel Villain flavor when possible, but prioritize synergy. Include enough interaction: 6–8 counterspells, 8–10 removal, 3–5 board wipes, and 3–5 reanimation spells. Avoid generic Grixis staples. Find creative, overlooked cards that strongly synergize and explain cuts/replacements.”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
