Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck was made for Unpopular MTG's november 2025 deckbuilding contest. The theme is hidden commanders.\n\n1. What is your game plan and how does your deck hope to win?\n\nThe plan is to get Shifting Shadow onto indestructible creatures to get a new hasty threat every turn and attack our opponents to death.\nThere is a suite of 1 mana token generators that allows us to go turn 1 token, turn 2 fetch Shifting Shadow, turn 3 play Shifting Shadow, then get an indestructible creature out of the deck to start the loop.\nOtherwise the plan the turn 1 whatever, turn 2 fetch Shifting Shadow, turn 3 play Kellan, turn 4 play Shifting Shadow.\n\nWhen casting Kellan's adventure, be mindful about putting Kellan back in the command zone or in the adventure zone. A good rule of thumb is to put it on an adventure if you don't have token generation in hand.\n\nI recommend mulliganing for token generation or recursion, with card advantage being a nice bonus. The high land count allows us to keep most of the hands we get.\n2. Why did you pick this face commander to lead your hidden commander deck?\n\nBecause polymorphing is fun, and Shifting Shadow allows us to do it every turn if we only run indestructible creatures B)\n\n3. How will you access your hidden commander each game?\n\nKellan's adventure Birthright Boon tutors for Shifting Shadow.\n\n4. What if your hidden commander is removed? (not counting exile)\n\nThe deck runs a recursion suite that allows us to get Shifting Shadow from the graveyard back to hand or directly to the battlefield. In addition to the 7 cards tagged as recursion, we also have 3 sources of recursion from the land base : Hall of Heliod's Generosity, Ishgard, the Holy See, and Mistveil Plains. Most notably, Mantle of the Ancients can be fetch with Kellan.\nIn case it gets shuffled into the library, we can get it back by recasting Birthright Boon from the command zone.\nIn case it gets exiled, we can put it back into our graveyard with Pull From Eternity, that can itself be tutored by Sunforger, that can be tutored by Kellan.\nFrom my playtesting if the original plan is disrupted we can redeploy a creature and Shifting Shadows in 2 turns most of the time.\n\nTo make sure we have creatures to hit with Shifting Shadow, the deck runs a few different ways to put cards back into the library from hand or from the graveyard.\n\n5. What makes this hidden commander deck unique?\n\nThe interaction of Shifting Shadow with indestructible creatures, giving us a hasty indestructible threat that sticks to the battlefield every turn.\n"}]}
