Super Shredder

Gameplan

Deploy Super Shredder early as a 2-mana evasive threat, then churn permanents through the graveyard—sacrifice fodder, tokens, fetch-style lands, and edict effects—to pile +1/+1 counters on it fast. With menace plus a couple pieces of evasion or trample, it becomes a one- or two-hit commander-damage kill while you also grind opponents out with aristocrats value.

Key Cards

• Skullclamp — Turns 1-toughness tokens into card draw while constantly triggering counters as creatures leave the battlefield.
• Viscera Seer — A free sacrifice outlet that lets you proactively feed permanents to grow Shredder and dig with scry.
• Bontu's Monument — Discounts your creatures and pings each opponent as you cast, supporting a fast aristocrats-aggro curve.
• Bitterblossom — A repeatable token engine that fuels sacrifice loops and feeds counters every time a Faerie dies.
• Whisper, Blood Liturgist — Reanimation and sacrifice value that both grows Shredder and rebuilds your board after wipes.
• Loran's Escape / Swiftfoot Boots — Protection and haste matter enormously since Shredder's power resets every time it dies.
• Grave Pact — Forces opponents to sacrifice each time your creatures die, doubling up on counter triggers and board control.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana (Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, dark rituals) and protection (Lightning Greaves, Malakir Rebirth) so Shredder lands early and survives removal. Lean harder into free sacrifice outlets (Carrion Feeder, Ashnod's Altar) plus payoff drains (Blood Artist, Pitiless Plunderer) to make every board interaction lethal, and include trample enablers or repeatable evasion to close games before opponents stabilize.
