Saved commander deck
Falco Spara, Pactweaver
Cast cards from the top of the library by removing counters from creatures, utilizing a persistent board presence and infinite combat or mana combos to win.
Prompt: A deck build featuring Falco Spara, Pactweaver as its commander, crafted to fully leverage the commander's ability to play cards from the top of the library and deliver counter-centric thematic gameplay. The power level is benchmarked at the Battle tier (the official Tier 3 power standard); the deck includes a reasonable array of opponent disruption tools such as removal, counterspells and exile effects, and incorporates at least two viable two-card win combos.
