Norman Osborn

The "Norman Osborn" deck is a Grixis-colored (Blue, Black, Red) spell-centric commander deck led by Kess, Dissident Mage. It primarily operates as a midrange-control deck with a strong emphasis on spell recursion and graveyard synergies. The deck focuses on casting and recasting powerful instants and sorceries using Kess's ability, aiming to generate value and maintain control over the game. Key cards like Yawgmoth's Will, Past in Flames, and Underworld Breach facilitate the deck's plan to reuse spells from the graveyard.
