Taii Wakeen.
Taii Wakeen is a 100-card Commander deck led by Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot in the Boros color identity (white/red). TableCommander estimates this deck at bracket 4 — optimized / high-power.
The mainboard runs 17 creatures, 20 instants, 17 sorceries, 14 artifacts, 4 enchantments, and 28 lands, averaging 2.22 mana value across non-land cards. 88% of non-land cards cost 3 mana or less; 4% cost 5 or more.
Notable inclusions: 10 game changers (e.g. Chrome Mox, Grim Monolith, and Lion's Eye Diamond), 3 fast mana (Lotus Petal, Mox Amber, and Mox Opal), 1 extra-turn spell (Chance for Glory), and 2 tutors (Goblin Matron and Imperial Recruiter). This deck is currently Commander-legal on TableCommander.
