Commander deckBGRUW
Kenrith, the Returned King
This 5-color political deck turns the table into a shared playground of group hug, group slug, and pure board chaos. By using cards like Shared Fate, Knowledge Pool, and Thieves' Auction alongside political voting and exchange mechanics, opponents are forced to play each other's decks and make deals without relying on coin flips or dice rolls.
Asked for“5 color group hug/group slug, but with chaos so im making everyone else play my deck, and each others. No coin flips or die rolls. Add as many political cards as you can as well, like wedding ring”
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.
