Celes, Rune Knight
Celes, Rune Knight Commander Deck
Celes, Rune Knight fuels the deck by filtering hand quality on entry and rewarding reanimation with +1/+1 counters across all creatures, supporting a gameplan built around cycling and discarding creatures into the graveyard to then reanimate them repeatedly for value. The deck uses enchantment-based and instant-speed reanimation alongside blink effects to generate snowballing board states, with tutors and graveyard setup tools ensuring consistent access to the right pieces. The primary win conditions revolve around infinite blink and token loops using Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward and Preston, the Vanisher in combination with blink spells, ultimately generating infinite ETB and LTB triggers or exiling all opposing nonland permanents.
