Xira, the Golden Sting

Xira, the Golden Sting Commander Deck

Xira, the Golden Sting leads a tribal Insect swarm deck that leverages her attack trigger to place egg counters on enemy creatures, then profits from their deaths through card draw and a growing army of flying Insect tokens. Zask, Skittering Swarmlord amplifies the engine by milling cards whenever Insects die and allowing the deck to replay Insect spells and lands from the graveyard, while Kathril, Aspect Warper can rapidly accumulate keyword counters from a graveyard full of flying, deathtouch, and other ability-bearing Insects. The deck wins by overwhelming opponents with a wide board of evasive, often deathtouch-equipped Insects, backed by death-trigger value that keeps refueling the battlefield faster than opponents can stabilize.
