MtG Commander Gameplay | Prosper, Carth, Linden, Xenagos | EP14

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Xenagos, God of Revels

  Ramp aggressively into large creatures, especially dragons, and grant them haste to apply quick and powerful combat pressure.

• 

  Carth the Lion

  Utilize a planeswalker toolbox approach by fetching planeswalkers with Carth’s enter-the-battlefield effect and activating their loyalty abilities to control the board and generate value.

• 

  Prosper, Tome-Bound

  Leverage card draw and value generation from spells and permanents, setting up for combo potential and controlling the game through incremental advantage.

• 

  Linden, the Steadfast Queen

  Build a token army with white creatures that have vigilance, gain life on attacking, and use life gain synergies to stabilize and eventually overwhelm opponents.

Gameplay Insights

  Linden’s life gain on attacks combined with token generation provides a defensive buffer and can outlast aggressive opponents.
