*********************************

Welcome back to The Draw Step! This week, the boys showcase Matthew's explosive Kess, Dissident Mage Commander Deck—a potent Grixis brew that's geared to combo off fast and hit hard.

This list leans cEDH, wielding wincons like Thassa’s Oracle, Laboratory Maniac, and the brutally efficient Jace, Wielder of Mysteries. Backed by premium tutors (Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, Mystical Tutor) and ultra-fast mana like Dark Ritual, Lotus Petal, and Mox Amber, this deck is tuned for high-stakes play.

Expect iconic synergy with Doomsday, Tainted Pact, Underworld Breach, and Thought Lash—plus resilient reanimation lines through Animate Dead, Reanimate, and Necromancy. Whether you’re slinging Counterspell, draining with Aetherflux Reservoir, or grinding value with Jeska’s Will, your opponents won't know what hit them.

It’s a deck that punishes slow starts and rewards sharp piloting. Ideal for competitive Commander pods and local tournaments where speed, consistency, and disruption are king.
