Rex, Cyber-Hound

Rex, Cyber-Hound is a clever mill-and-recursion commander that turns combat damage into a grinding value engine. Every hit mills your opponents while generating energy, which you then spend to exile creature cards from graveyards with brain counters. The genius part: Rex gains all the activated abilities of those exiled creatures, turning him into a toolbox of utility and power. You're essentially building a deck that attacks aggressively while slowly filling opponent graveyards and letting Rex borrow the best abilities from their own creatures—think of him as a robot dog that steals tricks from his fallen enemies.

Your core gameplan is to attack consistently (Rex is only 2/2, so you'll want evasion or protection), trigger his mill effect repeatedly, and spend energy to build up a suite of activated abilities on Rex. Early on you're milling and generating energy; mid-game you're activating abilities to control the board or draw cards; late-game Rex becomes a multitool creature that can protect himself, draw, or generate resources. The deck naturally slides into tempo or midrange, using blue and white's best tools to keep Rex alive and attacking while managing graveyards.
