Deez Commanders - Commander A-Z - EDH Gameplay Ep 152

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought

  Slowly builds up counters through creatures and stationing, eventually dealing massive damage to opponents via a combo with Stuffy Doll to bypass damage restrictions.

• 

  Durnan of the Yawning Portal

  Aggressively attacks to exile and cast creature cards from the top of the library using undaunted, supported by Dungeon Delver to double dungeon counters and maximize dungeon exploration.

• 

  Doran, the Siege Tower

  Utilizes Doran's unique combat damage assignment to deal damage based on toughness instead of power, employing creatures with high toughness and cheap casting costs to 'donk' opponents quickly.

• 

  Dr. Eggman

  Generates card advantage and board presence by forcing opponents to discard or allowing the cheat of artifact or vehicle cards from hand, leveraging flying and strong stats to control the air.

• 

  Dungeon Delver

  Works in tandem with Durnan to double dungeon counters and enhance the effectiveness of dungeon exploration and card advantage from dungeon-related spells and abilities.
