Deck & Commander Strategies
Brion Stoutarm
The deck uses Brion's ability to sacrifice creatures and deal damage equal to their power, effectively 'flinging' creatures at opponents. The strategy revolves around getting strong creatures on the battlefield to maximize the damage potential of Brion's ability.
Saskia the Unyielding
This deck utilizes the 'Wild Pair' enchantment in conjunction with creatures of power and toughness totaling seven. The objective is to maximize damage output, using Saskia's ability to hit multiple opponents.
Go-Shintai of Life's Origin
Go-Shintai's deck is a shrine and enchantment-focused deck, aiming to gain incremental value over the course of the game. The deck also utilizes the Destiny Spinner for protection against counters and to turn lands into threats.
Prosper, Tome-Bound
Prosper's deck focuses on generating value through the creation of treasure tokens. The pre-constructed deck aims to capitalize on the card advantage that Prosper provides to out-value opponents.
