Gorm the Great

Gorm the Great is a defensive powerhouse designed to work with its partner, Virtus the Veiled. While Gorm sits back with vigilance and forces multiple blockers, Virtus sneaks through unblocked to deal damage to whoever's taking hits. The gameplan is simple: use Gorm's bulk and evasion requirements to absorb damage while Virtus punishes opponents, then swing in with both creatures once the board stabilizes. You're playing a tempo-midrange game where Gorm's forcing effect turns combat math in your favor.

Build around making Gorm and Virtus work together smoothly. Since you're in green, ramp early to cast both partners quickly and protect them with removal and regeneration effects. Cards that give Gorm evasion like Sword of Feast and Famine help it connect when opponents can't muster enough blockers. You can also lean into +1/+1 counters to make Gorm a legitimate threat—it starts as a 2/7 wall, but with modest growth it becomes a real problem.

Wins come from commander damage as both partners chip away, or from swinging with an oversized Gorm once you've controlled the game. This isn't a fast deck, but it's resilient and punishing for opponents who can't handle the pressure.
