Celes, Rune Knight
Celes, Rune Knight Commander Deck
Celes, Rune Knight serves as a value engine and pump outlet, rewarding the deck's core loop of recurring creatures from the graveyard by loading the board with +1/+1 counters whenever a creature enters from a graveyard. The deck fills the graveyard through cycling lands and discard effects, then reanimates powerful creatures using a suite of graveyard recursion spells, while blinking effects refresh those creatures to generate repeated ETB value and set up infinite loops. The primary win conditions involve combining Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward with reanimation or blink spells like Felidar Guardian to generate infinite ETBs, tokens, and sacrifice triggers, closing the game through overwhelming board presence or exile effects.
