Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Muldrotha, the Gravetide

  Leverages graveyard recursion to generate value by repeatedly casting creatures, lands, and other permanents from the graveyard, focusing on a late-game toolbox approach.

• 

  Sisay, Weatherlight Captain

  A five-color legendary-centric deck that uses Sisay's ability to search for and cast powerful legendary permanents, growing stronger with more colors and leveraging synergy among legendary creatures.

• 

  Liliana, Heretical Healer // Liliana, Defiant Necromancer

  A mono-black discard and control build featuring multiple Liliana planeswalkers to disrupt opponents and gain incremental advantage through discard and reanimation effects.

• 

  Cleopatra, Exiled Pharaoh

  Uses counters placed on other legendary creatures to draw cards when they die, balanced by life loss, enabling a card draw engine predicated on sacrificing or losing legendary creatures.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  The 'hear me out' mechanic encouraged players to justify unconventional or thematic card choices to gain treasures, adding a social layer of strategy to card plays.

• 2

  Cleopatra's ability to place counters on multiple legendary creatures each turn created incremental card draw potential but came with a life loss cost, balancing risk and reward.

• 3

  Branching Evolution doubled the number of tokens generated from one-one counters, accelerating the board presence and synergy with other token or counter-based effects.

• 4

  Sisay's five-color mana base and ability to tutor legendary permanents allowed for flexible and powerful plays, though it required careful mana management early on.

• 5

  Muldrotha's late-game recursion strategy meant early turns were focused on setting up a graveyard with utility creatures to maximize value over time.

• 6

  Players used treasures gained from successful 'hear me out' plays to ramp into stronger spells or multiple spells per turn, accelerating game pace.
