Commander Masters UPGRADED Precon GAMEPLAY | Zhulodoc VS Anikthea VS Sliver Gravemother VS Guff

Deck Strategies

• 

  Sliver Gravemother

  Aim to flood the board with various Slivers, each of which grants a powerful ability to all other Slivers, and overwhelm opponents with a fast, synergistic creature swarm.

• 

  Anikthea, Hand of Erebos

  Focus on casting enchantments to trigger Anikthea's abilities and generate value, while also employing a reanimator sub-theme to get big enchantments from the graveyard onto the battlefield.

• 

  Zhulodok, Void Gorger

  The deck revolves around casting big colorless spells and utilizing the cascade mechanic for added value. Zhulodok's ability to exile other permanents and replace them with Eldrazi makes for a powerful late game.

• 

  Commodore Guff

  The goal is to play as many planeswalkers as possible, boosting their loyalty counters and utilizing their abilities to control the board and generate value. The deck also contains elements to protect the planeswalkers and proliferate their loyalty counters.
