Commander deckB
Olinda the Oblivious
Exploit Olinda's odor-spreading entry ability through mono-black 'blink' engines, temporary death-flickers, and bounce-and-recast effects. Synergistic woodland critters from Bloomburrow apply continuous pressure while you ramp out swamps to fuel repetitive odor deployment.
Asked for““A bracket two blink deck with Olinda the Oblivious as the commander with heavy bloomburrow vibes (so no zombies or phyrexians for example). Land ramp favored over rocks (though not opposed to on theme 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.

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.
