Lorehold, the Historian Commander Deck

by Boomslash100 cards

Lorehold, the Historian turns every instant and sorcery in hand into a miracle castable for {2}, so the deck is stuffed with huge sorceries (Apex of Power, Storm Herd, Rise of the Eldrazi, Insurrection, Soulfire Eruption, Call Forth the Tempest) that it means to cast for two mana. It sets up those miracles with top-of-library control: Scroll Rack, Sensei's Divining Top, Library of Leng and Penance stack the deck, and Lorehold's discard-then-draw on each opponent's upkeep lets it miracle on every turn, not just its own. Spell-cast payoffs and copy engines turn each discounted spell into tokens, mana, damage or extra copies. How it wins: It miracles game-ending sorceries like Insurrection, Storm Herd, Rise of the Eldrazi or a second Approach of the Second Sun, or it burns opponents out with spell-cast damage triggers. Key roles: - Miracle setup and library stacking: These cards put a chosen spell on top and control the first draw each turn, so Lorehold's opponent-upkeep loot finds a miracle every turn cycle. Discarding to Library of Leng also puts the card back on top. (Scroll Rack, Sensei's Divining Top, Library of Leng) - Expensive miracle bombs: These are high-cost sorceries and instants that are absurdly efficient for {2} and swing or end the game outright. (Insurrection, Storm Herd, Rise of the Eldrazi) - Approach lock: Approach of the Second Sun tucks itself seventh from the top, and the library manipulation pulls it straight back to recast and win. It also has a miracle discount. (Approach of the Second Sun, Scroll Rack, Enlightened Tutor) - Spell-cast payoffs: These are permanents that reward each instant or sorcery with dragons, treasure, tokens or direct damage, which turns miracle turns into board and burn. (Rite of the Dragoncaller, Caldera Pyremaw, Longshot, Rebel Bowman) - Copy and recursion engines: These copy the first spell each turn or recast spells from the graveyard, so one miracle bomb does double duty. (Double Vision, Arcane Bombardment, Mizzix's Mastery) - Discard value: Rummaging through Lorehold's trigger and discard-cost draw spells generates extra cards, treasure and life loss. (Monument to Endurance, Big Score, Unexpected Windfall)
