Commander deckGRW
Samut, Voice of Dissent
Gotta go fast! Blitz opponents with high-speed haste enablers, extra combat phases, and golden ring artifacts to overwhelm the table before anyone can set up their defenses.
Asked for“A Sonic the Hedgehog Commander deck.”
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.
