Brimaz, Blight of Oreskos

Legendary Creature — Phyrexian Cat

Whenever you cast a Phyrexian creature or artifact creature spell, incubate X, where X is that spell's mana value. (Create an Incubator token with X +1/+1 counters on it and "{2}: Transform this token." It transforms into a 0/0 Phyrexian artifact creature.) At the beginning of each end step, if a Phyrexian died under your control this turn, proliferate.

How this commander wants to play

Brimaz is your token factory commander that turns every Phyrexian spell into incubator tokens while rewarding you for sacrificing creatures. The gameplan is straightforward: cast Phyrexian creatures and artifacts to generate incubator tokens, then transform them into actual creatures by paying the incubate cost or sacrificing them for value. Once Phyrexians start dying, you unlock proliferate at end of step, which snowballs your token counters and any planeswalkers or poison counters you might be running.

The deck naturally falls into an aristocrats shell where you're incentivized to sacrifice your tokens for value through cards like Zulaport Cutthroat, Viscera Seer, and Cartel Aristocrat. You'll also want cheap Phyrexian creatures and artifact creatures to maximize incubate triggers—think cards like Phyrexian Mite, Plague Quarantine, and Bone Shards variants. The proliferate trigger creates a satisfying loop: more dead Phyrexians mean more proliferate, which means bigger tokens next turn.

Wins come through token swarm overwhelming the table or turning incubator tokens into a sacrifice engine that drains opponents out. Brimaz himself is a reasonable blocker, so you're not entirely defenseless while setting up.
