Grendel, Spawn of Knull

Grendel, Spawn of Knull is a lean, efficient flyer that punches above its weight with deathtouch. Your gameplan is to suit up Grendel with evasion-enhancing equipment, card draw engines, and anthem effects to turn it into a fast clock that dodges most blockers. You're playing a tempo-focused Voltron shell that cares about making your commander harder to deal with while generating incremental value along the way.

The deck wants to curve into Grendel on turn three or four, then immediately start protecting it and pumping its power. Since deathtouch means even 1 damage kills, you don't need huge numbers—just consistent evasion and incidental card draw. Win by swinging in with an augmented Grendel once the board is clear enough, or pivot to grinding out value through repeatable effects if the game goes long.
