Deck & Commander Strategies
Lord of Tresserhorn
This deck uses a combination of equipment and combat tricks to deal heavy damage with the commander. It also requires tokens and sacrifices to handle its commander's enter-the-battlefield trigger.
Shelob, Child of Ungoliant
This spider-themed deck uses Shelob to give all spiders death touch, enabling them to win almost any fight. The deck also aims to use its commander's ability to create copies of opponent's best creatures.
Xanathar, Guild Kingpin
This deck focuses on controlling the board by stealing opponents' cards from their battlefields, graveyards, and decks. The ultimate goal is to crush opponents' strategies and secure victory.
Umbris, Fear Manifest
This deck plays off a strong mill strategy, forcing opponents to exile cards from their libraries. It uses nightmare and horror creatures to trigger its commander's ability, and aims to deplete opponents' libraries or life totals.
