The shy king

I built this brago deck to be relatively budget with the exclusion of expensive lands. Below is a break down of the deck. Hope you enjoy, and as always, suggestions are more than welcome!

The shy king

Brago, King Eternal is one of those commanders that draws attention the second it hits the table, this can often prove to be a bad thing in most circumstances but due to his built in evasion (which he grants to the rest of his loyal followers) he often times skates around that issue. There are multiple lines of play in this deck and each game is unique. You want a token army? Sure. Wanna mill? Sure. Want to play control and swing in for lethal? Go right ahead. That’s part of why Brago, King Eternal is one of my all time favorite commanders. The possibilities are nearly endless.

Army of many

There’s many token producing cards in this deck, paired with brago you can build a huge army in the matter of a few turns. -Myr Battlesphere -Geist-Honored Monk -Evangel of Heliod -Elspeth, Sun's Champion -Whirler Rogue -Attended Knight

And just for some added value to said tokens Cathars' Crusade

Gathering intel

This deck comes equipped with a large draw/tutor suit to find the cards you want quickly. -Ponder-Brainstorm-Preordain-Ichor Wellspring-Mycosynth Wellspring-Blue Sun's Zenith-Omenspeaker-Cloudblazer-Sea Gate Oracle and a few others

For tutors we have -Trinket Mage-Trophy Mage-Whir of Invention and Heliod's Pilgrim

Military tactics

What good is a kingdom without a good military defense. A court full of mages and soldiers makes all the difference.

For removal we have -Detention Sphere-Oblivion Ring-Journey to Nowhere-Banishing Light-Nevermaker-Supreme Verdict-Sunblast Angel-Cyclonic RiftandReflector Mage

Countering unwanted magic assaults? Easy. Counterspell-Cancel-Dissolve-Negate-Render Silent

Need more armor? Try these Whispersilk Cloak-Lightning Greaves-Swiftfoot Boots-Gift of Immortality-Aqueous Form-Ghostly Flicker

Expendable resources

Here’s were everything else comes in

Life gain -Soul Warden-Suture Priest-Lone Missionary

Recursion Archaeomancer-Mnemonic Wall-Auramancer

Extras Panharmonicon-Eldrazi Displacer-Felidar Guardian

Pure value Thought-Knot Seer-Dovin Baan

We even have some mill Jace's Mindseeker-Altar of the Brood-Geralf's Messenger-Sage's Row Denizen

Key combos

There’s two combos in here that work well for what we need, mana and more blinks Brago, King Eternal + Strionic Resonator

Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake

win con

There isn’t one specific win con in this deck. Build an army, mill some one out, combo off with Brago, King Eternal + Strionic Resonator , swing for commander damage... the sky is the limit!
