At Silverquill, words are weapons — and you decide who they hit. The Silverquill Influence Commander Deck combines Auras, political manipulation, and goad to make your opponents deal with each other first and foremost.
Killian, Decisive Mentor leads this white-black deck, turning every enchantment you play into extra control over the battlefield. Tap a creature, goad it, and steer the battle in another direction. Once creatures enchanted by your Auras attack, you also draw new cards. With Scriv, the Obligator as an alternative commander, you can literally impose contracts on opponents that reward them for attacking someone else — and punish them if they don't.

Why choose Silverquill Influence?
-
Auras with political influence: Enchant not only your own creatures, but also those of your opponents to determine where their attacks end up.
-
Goad from the command zone: Every enchantment that enters under your control allows Killian to tap and goad up to one creature.
-
Card draw from combat: When one or more creatures enchanted by your Auras attack, you draw a card thanks to Killian.
-
Scriv's contracts: Scriv creates special Contract Aura tokens for opponents' creatures and pressures them to attack your other opponents instead.
-
26 enchantments: A large portion of the deck consists of actual Auras and other enchantments, ensuring the central strategy is strongly supported right out of the box.
-
10 new Magic cards: The deck introduces ten new-to-Magic cards alongside well-known Commander staples like Land Tax, Angelic Destiny, and Ghostly Prison.
Win the argument before the battle begins
Killian, Decisive Mentor
Face Commander · White / Black
Every enchantment you play can tap and goad a creature. When creatures with your Auras subsequently attack, Killian rewards you with extra cards. This turns enchantment value directly into political control over combat.
Scriv, the Obligator
Featured Commander · White / Black
Upon entering the battlefield and attacking, Scriv creates a Contract Aura on an opponent's creature. If that creature attacks one of your other opponents, it gains extra power. If it chooses another target, its controller pays with life.
Eloquence is power
Silverquill Influence is especially interesting if you enjoy multiplayer politics. You don't have to destroy every threat yourself: sometimes it is much more effective to convince that threat to go somewhere else.
