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.
Prompt: 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.
