Deck & Commander Strategies
Shiko and Narset, Unified
The strategy revolves around slinging spells and capitalizing on the ability to copy the second spell each turn. The deck includes a variety of cheap cantrips and high-impact instants and sorceries.
Eshki, Temur's Roar
The deck focuses on playing big, efficiently costed creatures. Every time a creature spell is cast, Eshki grows, refills the hand, and deals damage to opponents.
Felothar, the Steadfast
The deck builds around creatures with low power and high toughness. Felothar allows these creatures to attack and also enables major card draw.
Teval, the Balanced Scale
The strategy involves filling the graveyard and exiling cards to create a horde of zombies. The deck uses self-mill to get cards in the graveyard, then exiles them for value.
