Character Background
Vren, the Relentless is a value-driven midrange/control commander: he taxes removal with Ward {2}, turns every opponent creature death into a permanent exile (shutting down graveyard synergies), and converts those kills into a growing rat army at each end step. Play him in decks that plan to repeatedly clear or pick off opposing creatures on your turn—cheap targeted removal and at least one board wipe timed to your turn maximizes X—while stuffing the deck with Rat-anthem effects (lords, global pump effects or Anthem artifacts) so the 1/1 tokens quickly become meaningful threats. Specific deck tip: include sacrifice- and sacrifice-inducing effects that force opponents to lose creatures during your turn (or cards that make them sacrifice) and single-target removal you can cast after blockers are declared, because any opponent creature that would die under their control becomes exiled and counted. Remember he’s legendary, so he’s a single persistent engine that both denies graveyard recursion and builds inevitability through overwhelming Rat numbers.
