Deck & Commander Strategies
Iron Man, Titan of Innovation
A blue-red artifact synergy deck that leverages low-cost artifacts and recursion through Goblin Welder to generate card advantage and control the board. The deck aims to assemble a toolbox of artifacts and use grindstone combos for a potential win, while controlling the tempo with artifact interactions and removal.
Aang, Swift Savior // Aang and La, Ocean's Fury
A tempo-oriented deck focusing on efficient creatures and spells to generate incremental advantage and board presence. The deck uses tempo disruption and damage to outpace opponents, leveraging Aang’s ability to interact with spells and creatures to maintain control and push for damage.
Gameplay Insights
