Killian, Decisive Mentor

Killian, Decisive Mentor Commander Deck

Killian, Decisive Mentor builds an Aura-based engine where each enchantment entering taps and goads enemy creatures, redirecting attacks away from you while drawing cards whenever those enchanted creatures attack. The deck stacks Auras onto creatures — both your own to create massive threats and onto opponents' creatures to weaponize them against each other — generating card advantage through combat triggers and snowballing with payoffs like Sigil of the Empty Throne and Hallowed Haunting that produce angel or spirit tokens as the enchantment count grows. Resilience comes from Auras that return themselves or allow recursion, keeping key enchanted creatures protected and sustaining the engine long enough to win through an overwhelming board of tokens and pumped-up attacking threats.
