Deck & Commander Strategies
Sonic the Hedgehog
Leverage haste and flash creatures to apply early and continuous pressure, generating treasure tokens with each successful attack to ramp mana and fuel explosive plays. Utilize +1/+1 counters to grow the board and enable potential infinite combos.
Dr. Eggman
Force opponents to discard cards at end of turn, enabling deployment of constructs, robots, and vehicles from hand to battlefield. Maintain board control and card advantage through artifact synergies and recurring threats.
Knuckles the Echidna
Aggressively attack with double strike and trample creatures to generate treasure tokens. Aim to accumulate 30 or more artifacts to win the game outright with the treasure hunter ability while maintaining high combat pressure.
Miles "Tails" Prower
Focus on vehicles and flying creatures to draw cards and control the airspace. Use flying counters to enable non-flying vehicles to attack and overwhelm opponents, building a large board presence through card advantage and artifact synergy.
