Madame Masque

Legendary Creature — Human Villain

When Madame Masque enters, she connives. (Draw a card, then discard a card. If you discarded a nonland card, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.) Whenever you draw your second card each turn, create a 2/1 black Villain creature token with menace. (It can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.)

Strategy

How this commander wants to play

Madame Masque is a draw-and-discard engine that rewards you for filtering your hand while pumping herself and generating Villain tokens. Every turn, her connive trigger draws a card and lets you pitch a nonland to gain a +1/+1 counter, and whenever you draw your second card that turn (from any source), you get a 2/1 menace token. This means even modest card draw sources turn into a token factory—play a cantrip or wheel effect, and suddenly you're flooding the board with attackers while Madame Masque grows larger. Your gameplan is straightforward: load up on cheap draw and discard synergies, fill the battlefield with Villain tokens, and bash for combat damage while your commander becomes increasingly threatening.

Start with simple draw spells like Read the Bones, Sign in Blood, and Howling Mine instead of pricey engines like Necropotence; swap Glorious Purpose for cheaper payoff cards.
