Saved commander deck
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.
Prompt: **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.
