So with the change in death triggers and how they effect commanders, I am going to build a new version of one of my first commander decks. Always liked the unique ability that Elenda, the Dusk Rose has, and with this change, this deck seems to be much more viable.

Lets dig into this, and see where it goes.

So with the new death triggers rules coming, the key combos in this deck are Elenda, the Dusk Rose and any sac outlet like Ashnod's Altar , Altar of Dementia or, when I can get one, a Phyrexian Altar to either make a load of token and sac some of them off to recast Elenda and then sac her again and rinse repeat. Should generate a load of mana and can look to win through Mill (that "new" keyword), life drain or just through overrunning with a number of tokens using the anthem effects.

There is significant removal in here on creatures and also through other sac outlets as well.

This is still very much a deck creation in its infancy, so greatly appreciate some advice on different ways to play this and ideas I have not seen

Thanks, and don't forget to upvote!!!
