Davros, Dalek Creator Commander Precon
Grixis Doctor Who villains deck that punishes opponents through life loss, Dalek token production and forced villainous choices. Davros rewards making an opponent lose 3 or more life each turn by creating a 3/3 menace Dalek at end step and forcing a draw-or-discard choice. The deck supplies that damage with burn-style "loses 3/4/5 life" effects, evasive menace and unblockable attackers, and goad. It also builds an artifact-creature army of Daleks and face-down 2/2 Cybermen, stolen from opponents' graveyards, libraries and battlefields. How it wins: Repeated life-loss punishers and a growing army of menace Daleks and stolen Cybermen, amplified by myriad, goad and Wound Reflection, drain the table out over a few turns. Key roles: - Triggering Davros: Removal and spells that come with built-in life loss, plus evasive attackers, reliably push an opponent past 3 life lost each turn, which keeps the commander creating Daleks and forcing card advantage (Dalek Drone, Exterminate!, Cult of Skaro). - Villainous choice amplification: Cards that make opponents face villainous choices become doubly punishing when every choice is faced twice, so each trigger turns into extra damage, tokens or cards (The Valeyard, The Dalek Emperor, Sycorax Commander). - Dalek army: Repeated production of 3/3 menace Dalek tokens builds a wide evasive board, and haste and Dalek-tap effects turn that board into more removal and more life loss (Genesis of the Daleks, The Dalek Emperor, Doomsday Confluence). - Cyberman conversion and theft: Opponents' creatures, milled cards and dying creatures come back face down as 2/2 Cyberman artifact creatures under this deck's control, which both grows the artifact army and strips their boards (Missy, The Cyber-Controller, Cybership). - Artifact creature payoffs: Anthems, afflict and myriad turn the wide pile of artifact creatures into multiplayer damage, and nontoken artifact deaths add further drain or copies (Cybermen Squadron 7, Cyberman Patrol, The Master, Gallifrey's End). - Goad and life-loss multiplication: Goad pushes opponents' creatures to attack each other, which spreads damage and life loss around the table without exposing this deck, and doubled damage plus end-step life-loss doubling convert all that damage into lethal (Wound Reflection, The Sound of Drums, The Rani).
