Mai, Scornful Striker
Mai, Scornful Striker Commander Deck
Mai, Scornful Striker punishes every noncreature spell cast by any player with life loss, making her a passive drain engine that gradually bleeds the table while you build your board. The deck amplifies this pressure through a dense package of life loss triggers tied to spells, lands entering play, and creatures entering or dying, all stacking with Mai's ability to make every action your opponents take costly. The primary win condition is assembling Shard of the Nightbringer with Enduring Tenacity, which creates an infinite life loss loop to eliminate a target opponent, while Exsanguinate and large mana generation serve as a backup finisher.
