Lord Xander, the Collector

Lord Xander, the Collector Commander Deck

Lord Xander, the Collector — The Patient Don Lord Xander is the most powerful crime lord in the city, and he knows it. He doesn't need to rush. He sits at the table with the other factions, distributes favours, brokers deals, and lets everyone believe they have a seat at his table — right up until they don't. His three abilities represent the full arc of mob justice: when he arrives he already knows your secrets (discard half your hand), when he moves against you he erases your future (mill half your library), and when the don falls the whole city burns in the aftermath (sacrifice half your permanents). The primary win condition is milling opponents out through repeated Xander attacks, amplified by supporting mill effects and doubled by Bruvac the Grandiloquent. Extra combat steps let him hit the same player multiple times per turn, accelerating the clock dramatically. Life drain from Sheoldred and similar effects runs as a parallel threat — opponents are never sure which clock kills them first. Politically, the don runs the table through voting cards and selective rewards. He appears generous while bleeding everyone dry. The group hug elements feed Sheoldred's drain engine, turning the don's apparent generosity into a weapon. Removal is flavourful and deliberate — assassinations, not explosions.
