Legendary Creature — Human Wizard
{R}{W}{B}, {T}, Sacrifice an enchantment: Return target enchantment card from your graveyard to the battlefield.
“Recursion wizard that sacrifices enchantments to loop them from the graveyard.”
Ghen, Arcanum Weaver is your enchantment recursion engine in the command zone. The core gameplan is to build a deck packed with enchantments—both auras and permanents—that generate value when they enter or leave the battlefield. You'll sacrifice enchantments to Ghen to reanimate them from your graveyard, triggering their ETB effects repeatedly and building up resources turn after turn. This turns your graveyard into a second hand and lets you turn one-shot enchantments into repeatable value factories.
To maximize Ghen, focus on enchantments with strong ETB or death triggers: things like Omen of the Sun, Siege Rhino (via Oblivion Ring effects), and Cathartic Reunion effects. Pair these with sacrifice outlets and cards that make enchantments expendable. Your graveyard becomes your real resource, so self-mill and discard outlets help stock it. Ghen himself is a mana sink that grows your board while refilling your hand with new threats.
You win through a combination of incremental damage, tokens generated by enchantment triggers, and commander damage. The deck naturally generates card advantage and board presence simultaneously, making it resilient and hard to shut down completely.

Skip expensive tutors like Enlightened Tutor; use budget enchantment draw like Omen of the Sea and Healing Leaves as self-mill instead.
