The Commander
Whenever another nonartifact creature dies, return it to the battlefield under your control face down and tapped. It's a 2/2 Cyberman artifact creature.
At the beginning of your end step, each opponent faces a villainous choice — Each artifact creature you control deals 1 damage to that opponent, or you draw a card and chaos ensues.
Guide
Gameplan
Missy turns every creature death across the table into a tapped 2/2 Cyberman artifact under your control, snowballing a wide army from board wipes, sacrifice, and removal. Each turn you grind value with the end-step villainous choice—either chunking opponents with your growing artifact army or drawing cards (with chaos). You win by overwhelming with stolen creatures, going wide for combat or aristocrat damage, or assembling artifact-based combos.
Strengths
- Converts opponents' creature deaths into your own board, profiting from removal and wraths you cast yourself
- Inevitable end-step value: either repeated damage or card advantage every turn
- Grixis gives access to the best removal, board wipes, and tutors to fuel the death triggers
- Cybermen are artifacts, enabling powerful artifact synergies and sacrifice loops
Weaknesses
- Six mana and no immediate impact—she's vulnerable to removal and must survive a turn to matter
- Reanimating creatures as vanilla 2/2 Cybermen strips their abilities, capping individual card quality
- Artifact-heavy board folds hard to artifact wipes like Vandalblast and Bane of Progress
- Three-color manabase plus chaos cards can be inconsistent and swingy
Key Cards
- Blasphemous Act — A cheap mass wipe that kills the table's creatures and hands the survivors' corpses to you as Cybermen.
- Dictate of Erebos — Forces sacrifice on every creature you lose, and Missy converts those deaths into more Cybermen.
- Pitiless Plunderer — Each Cyberman or creature dying makes Treasure, ramping you to recast wipes and removal.
- Marionette Master — Turns your growing artifact army into a lethal aristocrats finisher when Cybermen are sacrificed.
- Ashnod's Altar — Free sacrifice outlet that loops your Cybermen for mana and triggers death payoffs.
- Goblin Bombardment — A reliable sac outlet that pings opponents and keeps Missy's death engine humming.
- Toxic Deluge — Scalable board wipe that clears defenses and converts opposing creatures into your Cybermen.
Upgrade Path
Lean into self-wrath synergies—run more board wipes you can rebuild from (Damnation, Toxic Deluge) alongside free sacrifice outlets like Ashnod's Altar and Phyrexian Altar to control death timing. Add aristocrat payoffs (Blood Artist, Marionette Master) and artifact protection like Mycosynth Lattice traps or simply more interaction to defend Missy. To raise power, include fast mana (Mana Crypt, signets), strong tutors (Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor), and a compact combo such as Pitiless Plunderer plus a sac outlet for infinite-value loops.
