Judge Dredd: make every breach matter

Judge Dredd, the Law leads a Boros (red/white) Commander deck that places a clear condition in front of every opponent. They break the Law when they attack you or cast their second spell in a turn. Judgement abilities then apply the response printed on each card. The Mega-City One setting gives the deck its patrol, equipment and street-level atmosphere, while the rules create pressure around two common decisions: where to attack and whether to cast another spell.

• THE LAW: An opponent breaks the Law when they attack you or cast their second spell in a turn. Judgement abilities respond to that event with their own printed effects.
• DREDD'S SENTENCE: Judge Dredd, the Law has vigilance and gives your Judges first strike. His Judgement exiles a target tapped creature the offending player controls, with a limit of once each turn.
• REINFORCE THE PATROL: Judge Morphy, the Old Mentor gives your other Judges +1/+1 and creates a Street Judge token through Judgement, once each turn.
• INFORMATION AND DAMAGE: Judge Anderson, Psi Division draws a card through Judgement, once each turn. Judge Death, the Superfiend deals 2 damage to the offending player whenever they break the Law.

Several responses to the same decision

The patrol works best when different Judgement permanents are established together. One breach can then feed several effects, but their limits remain separate: Dredd, Anderson and Morphy each say once each turn, while Judge Death's printed ability has no such limit. Dredd also needs a tapped creature belonging to the offending player as a target. A second spell does not guarantee that such a creature is available.

Chief Judge Cal, the Mad Tyrant can require a target opposing creature to attack you if able during its controller's combat, giving the table another reason to account for your patrol. First strike on Judges and vigilance on Dredd support combat while the triggered abilities supply resources. This Judge Dredd Magic Proxy deck suits players who enjoy reactive creature boards and making opponents weigh the consequences of ordinary actions.

A 100-card Commander deck plus 4 tokens, with the existing Bracket 4 designation.
