Edea, Possessed Sorceress built as an aristocrat Commander using Edge of Eternities

Polygon published a decklist that adapts Edea, Possessed Sorceress into a Commander built around the Edge of Eternities set.

Edea’s abilities let you steal a creature at the start of combat and attack with it, and if that creature dies you draw a card while the creature returns to its owner; Edea also has Ward 2. The article’s author says the deck leans into making those borrowed creatures die for value, a strategy often called “aristocrat.”

The deck uses sacrifice tools such as sorceries like Embrace Oblivion, creatures like Vile Mutilator and High-Society Hunter, and enchantments like Vampiric Rites. It also leans on Edge of Eternities’ Void mechanic, with cards named Elegy Acolyte, Insatiable Skittermaw, Interceptor Mechan, and Lightless Evangel getting extra benefits when permanents leave the battlefield.

The builder added cards to expand the plan—Involuntary Employment and The Shattered States Era to steal more creatures, and Irenicus's Vile Duplication and Silent Hallcreeper to copy creatures before they die—and says the deck is still a work in progress and is being shared for feedback in the comments.
