Deck & Commander Strategies
Zinnia, Valley's Voice
Builds a wide board of low-power creatures to exponentially grow Zinnia’s power and deal large commander damage, supported by token doubling and card draw synergies.
Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir
Uses eminence to gain value from knights attacking, equipped with equipment to boost damage and disrupt opponents, aiming to close the game with commander damage.
Hearthhull, the Worldseed
Leverages land sacrifice and recursion with Jund colors to draw cards, generate value, and deal damage, maintaining pressure through resource denial and incremental advantage.
Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon
Places +1/+1 counters on Anim Pakal and creates tokens to swarm opponents, utilizing protection effects and value artifacts to dominate the board.
