Saved commander deck
Doctor Doom, Unrivaled
Capitalize on massive discard engines and high-tempo wheel effects to generate extreme value, wipe enemy boards through -1/-1 counters, and reanimate high-impact targets for victory.
Prompt: **Commander:** Doctor Doom, Unrivaled (Grixis) Build a **Power Level 7–8** EDH deck focused on **discard synergy**, not cEDH or generic Grixis goodstuff. Core strategy: * Discard for value (Bone Miser, Archfiend of Ifnir, Waste Not) * Wheel effects (Windfall, Dark Deal, Wheel of Misfortune) * Graveyard recursion (Oskar, Reanimate, Victimize, Underworld Breach) * Land discard (Seismic Assault, Land's Edge, Dakmor Salvage, Crucible of Worlds) * Free casting (Cascade, Discover, impulse draw, Nico Minoru, Lady Loki) * Clone effects (Vizier of Many Faces) Keep Marvel Villains when they support the strategy. Include ~6–8 counters, 8–10 removal, 3–5 board wipes, and 3–5 reanimation spells. Prioritize synergy and overlooked cards. Explain every cut and replacement.
