New Deck

Summary

This list has strong individual cards (Rhystic Study, Smothering Tithe, premium counterspells, multiple hatebears), but it is not built to cEDH (Bracket 5) speed/consistency. The primary win packages (commanderdriven lifegain→mill, big mill sorceries, Felidar Sovereign) are turn6+ oriented, and the deck is also short on fast mana, tutors, and land count for reliable T3–T5 play. Additionally, Gifts Ungiven is banned in Commander, which is a material construction issue for typical EDH environments.
