Fan Request Scramble | Commander VS | Damia vs Mayael vs Rubinia vs Old One Eye

Deck Strategies

• 

  Old One Eye

  The deck focuses on a fight club theme where the aim is to battle other creatures directly and benefit from these fights.

• 

  Rubinia Soulsinger

  This deck has a unique theme where every card in the deck features a scroll in its artwork, adding an extra layer of complexity to its gameplan.

• 

  Mayael the Anima

  The goal of this deck is to take advantage of Mayael's ability to cheat big creatures into play early in the game.

• 

  Damia, Sage of Stone

  This deck is built around the idea of giving opponents low value cards through Shared Fate and playing their more powerful cards in return. It's a bit of a gamble, but it could pay off with high rewards.
