Niko, Light of Hope

Commander: Niko, Light of Hope · Colors: WU · Bracket: B3-Low · Power: 2.5 · 100 cards

This Azorius blink deck uses Niko, Light of Hope and a deep suite of flicker effects like Ephemerate, Ghostly Flicker, and Teleportation Circle to repeatedly rebuy value from creatures such as Sun Titan, Soulherder, and Overlord of the Mistmoors. Shard tokens from Niko, token doublers like Mondrak, and payoffs including Halo Fountain and Angel of Destiny convert the accumulated board presence into alternate win conditions. The deck grinds through interaction with counterspells, spot removal, and Supreme Verdict while outvaluing opponents over a long game.
