Zethi, Arcane Blademaster

Zethi, Arcane Blademaster Commander Deck

Zethi, Arcane Blademaster is kicked multiple times before entering the battlefield, exiling several instant cards from the graveyard to set up a repeating engine where each attack triggers free copies of those instants. The deck fills the graveyard with powerful instants through self-mill effects, then uses tutors to find the right pieces, ultimately recurring and reusing instants every combat to generate overwhelming value. The first goal of the deck is to cast traumatize on myself and then casting planar Birthing to get all lands into play. Landfall synergies from cards like Retreat to Emeria and Retreat to Coralhelm generate tokens and untap effects that fuel repeated attacks, while reanimation effects keep the engine running if Zethi is removed.
