Director's Surprise Season Finale | Commander VS | Magic: the Gathering Gameplay

Deck Strategies

• 

  Rashmi and Ragavan

  This deck focuses on casting the first spell during each turn to exile the top card of an opponent's library and creating a treasure token. The card can then be cast without paying its mana cost if it has a mana value less than the number of artifacts controlled.

• 

  Urza, Lord High Artificer

  The Urza deck revolves around leveraging artifacts for mana advantage. Urza himself can tap an unused artifact to create blue mana, and also has the ability to shuffle the library and exile the top card to play it without paying its mana cost.

• 

  Alexander Clamilton

  This commander rewards playing wordy spells - spells with four or more lines of rules text. This encourages a deck filled with complex spells, creating a deck that is both challenging and fun to navigate.

• 

  Imodane, the Pyrohammer

  The strategy for this deck is to cast instant or sorcery spells that target only a single creature, which then enables Imodane to deal the same amount of damage to each opponent, setting up potential for huge swings in life totals.
