Commander deckUW
Dorothea, Vengeful Victim // Dorothea's Retribution
Fill the graveyard with disturb spirits and enchantments, recurring them as Auras to empower Dorothea and overwhelm opponents with flying Spirit tokens.
Asked for“A Dorothea deck prioritizing Innistrad cards, disturb cards, enchantments. Land ramp is preferred to rocks.”
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.
Mana curve · 62 nonland cards
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.
