Thantis, the Warweaver

Thantis, the Warweaver Commander Deck

Thantis, the Warweaver sits at the center of a forced-combat aikido strategy, using her own static ability alongside goad effects and token-generating "hunted" creatures to flood the battlefield and compel opponents to attack each other and into her growing, vigilant body. A suite of damage-redirect permanents — including Repercussion, Stuffy Doll, and Brash Taunter — turns the inevitable mass combat damage into punishment for the attacking player, while creatures that redirect damage dealt to them back at opponents or players amplify this effect further, and sweepers that deal damage to all creatures (rather than destroying them) become one-sided devastation when Repercussion is in play. The deck wins by letting the table exhaust itself under political pressure and pillowfort tax effects, then closing out with combos like Blasphemous Act plus Repercussion to redirect lethal damage to all opponents simultaneously.
