Deck & Commander Strategies
Inspirit, Flagship Vessel
Build counters on artifacts to grant hexproof and indestructibility, protecting a fleet of spacecraft and enabling a defensive, value-oriented game plan.
Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought
Accumulate charge counters to transform the spacecraft into a creature capable of dealing massive damage to creatures or other spacecraft, focusing on aggressive board control.
Infinite Guideline Station
Leverage multicolor permanents to generate robot tokens and draw cards, aiming to transform the spacecraft into a powerful flying creature with a large board presence and card advantage.
Hearthhull, the Worldseed
Sacrifice lands for card draw and additional land plays while draining opponents’ life totals, combining land sacrifice mechanics with aggressive attrition.
