Thunderbolts Commander Deck · 100 Proxy Cards · MTG EDH

A fully custom Thunderbolts Magic proxy Commander deck, ready to play straight out of the envelope: 100 proxy cards with original artworks, built around a team assembled entirely out of people nobody would miss. Mardu (white / black / red), led by Helmut Zemo, the Baron.

Why three colours? Black is the file each of them has. Red is what they were hired for. White is the part that makes this a Thunderbolts deck and not a villain deck: atonement is a white mechanic, and these are the people least entitled to it. The deck only pays out when they take the hit instead of dealing it.

Targeted power level: Bracket 4 — three combo routes, fast mana, a full tutor package and real interaction. Built to be the strongest deck at a table that is not playing cEDH.

Deck Strategy

You do not earn redemption by attacking. You earn it by blocking, and by losing people. And every creature that dies over there is a job offer.

• ATONE — Blocking, dying and taking hits put atonement counters on your team. Attacking does nothing.
• REDEMPTION — Three counters and the creature flips: better body, better ability, no longer disposable.
• THE PROGRAMME — Every creature that dies under an OPPONENT’S control can be recruited straight onto your side.
• THE VOID — Three combo routes, including a recruitment loop that empties the table’s graveyards into yours.

Zemo, Yelena Belova, the Winter Soldier, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster, US Agent, the Sentry and the Void, with Valentina running the programme from a hearing room. 35 lands including the Raft, the Red Room and the Watchtower. Average mana value ~2.8.
