Celes, Rune Knight

Celes, Rune Knight Commander Deck

Celes, Rune Knight fuels this deck by filtering into key pieces on entry, while her ability to reward casting or reanimating creatures from the graveyard with +1/+1 counters across the board incentivizes a reanimator gameplan centered on recurring large threats like Archon of Cruelty and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite through spells and cycling-based engines. The deck also assembles infinite blink loops using Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward and Felidar Guardian alongside enchantment-based reanimation or Ephemerate, generating infinite ETB and LTB triggers, infinite creature tokens, or exiling all opposing nonland permanents. Supporting this are tutors, discard outlets, and a deep cycling package that keeps the graveyard stocked and the hand moving toward the pieces needed to close the game.
