Deck & Commander Strategies
The Master of Keys
Utilizes enchantment spells with reduced costs to fill the graveyard and bring them back to the battlefield for incremental damage while leveraging powerful enchantments like Omniscience and Cathar's Crusade to dominate the board.
Rendmaw, Creaking Nest
Generates a steady stream of tapped 2/2 bird creature tokens that pressure opponents and encourage combat among them, aiming to overwhelm the board through token swarms and synergy with card types.
Disa the Restless
Focuses on creatures with multiple card types (goifys), using their abilities and synergy to create a large board presence and overrun opponents through combat damage.
Umbris, Fear Manifest
Employs blink and mill mechanics centered around horrors and nightmares to disrupt opponents’ libraries while building a graveyard-based advantage.
