Bjorna, Nightfall Alchemist

Bjorna, Nightfall Alchemist is a sneaky control engine that punishes opponents by forcing their creatures to attack each other instead of you. Your game plan revolves around sacrificing cheap artifacts to goad enemy threats, turning the table into a chaotic battlefield where opponents damage themselves. You'll want a bunch of expendable artifacts—tokens, tokens-generating effects, and artifact lands—so you have a constant stream of sacrifice fodder. The deck wins by attrition: goading the right creatures forces combat math to work in your favor, you stay safe behind opponent damage, and eventually everyone else burns out while you're left standing.

The beauty here is that you're not the aggressor—you're the conductor orchestrating mutual destruction. Cards that generate artifact tokens, sacrifice outlets that double as engines, and goad effects stack up fast. Since Bjorna taps to activate, you'll want ways to untap her or triggers that bypass the need to attack. The Partner mechanic opens up flexible pairing options; consider a second commander that either generates artifacts, untaps creatures, or synergizes with sacrifice themes for extra value.
