Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls
Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls Commander Deck
The deck's gameplan revolves around Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls, who grows larger and draws cards whenever an opponent loses life on their own turn, making the deck want to ensure every opponent bleeds a little each round. A dense package of passive life-loss enchantments and creatures punishes opponents simply for drawing cards, casting spells, or having creatures enter the battlefield, while Mogis, God of Slaughter applies constant upkeep pressure by forcing opponents to sacrifice creatures or lose life. The deck wins by leveraging Valgavoth's card advantage engine to maintain a steady stream of threats and removal, eventually overwhelming opponents with a massive evasive commander backed by recursive life-drain effects that drain life totals to zero.
