Don Andres, the Renegade
Execute high-stakes heists by stealing opponents' cards directly from their libraries, hands, graveyards, and battlefields. Don Andres powers up all stolen spells, rewarding you with extra treasures and stats as you turn your opponents' prized resources against them.
Asked for“Build a 100-card Commander deck. No budget/bracket limits. Prefer Don Andres, the Renegade; Nathan Drake is the alternative. Other commanders only if clearly better. THEME: steal opponents' cards/resources from library, hand, graveyard or battlefield; cast/use their cards; steal permanents. Treasure/loot is secondary. STRICT THEME: every card should fit a THIEVES/HEIST universe via name, art, flavor, mechanics or creature type. Prioritize thieves, rogues, outlaws, criminals, assassins, pirates, explorers, adventurers, spies, heists, vaults, treasure, gold, coins, jewels, gems, rings and loot. Avoid Horrors, clones, undead, ghosts, demons, angels, Eldrazi, Spirits, Elementals and supernatural beings. THEME > POWER. Avoid generic staples when a thematic alternative exists. Secret Lair/Universes Beyond versions are welcome. Keep the deck powerful and functional. Replace poorly themed cards when reasonable.”
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.
