Raddic, Tal Zealot

Raddic, Tal Zealot is a Knight-focused commander that rewards you for attacking with your Knight team. Every combat phase, you get to draft a card from Raddic's spellbook—essentially generating card advantage just by swinging out. The deck wants to build a critical mass of Knights, then turn them sideways consistently to fuel your draw engine while pressuring opponents. Since Raddic himself is a 4/4 with hexproof from white and black, he's naturally resilient and can close out games on his own if needed.

Your gameplan revolves around ramping into Knights, using token generators and efficient Knight lords to pump your team, and keeping up the pressure while drawing cards. Cards like Knight Exemplar, Intrepid Adversary, and Benalish Marshal turn your creatures into a genuinely threatening force. The deck plays as a midrange beatdown strategy—you're not racing to turn-4 kills, but you're consistently ahead on cards and board presence, which snowballs into unstoppable attacks.

Win conditions are straightforward: combat damage from your Knight army, often finishing with commander damage from Raddic himself. The spellbook draft mechanic makes sure you're never short on resources, so you can durdle when needed or go all-in when you've assembled enough threats.
