Deck & Commander Strategies
Daretti, Rocketeer Engineer
Focuses on artifact synergies by sacrificing and recurring artifacts to control the board and generate incremental value, aiming to out-resource opponents through artifact recursion and disruption.
Ragost, Deft Gastronaut
Utilizes a descent mechanic where discarding or sacrificing permanents triggers card draw and transformation of creatures, enabling a combo-like engine to gain card advantage and pressure opponents.
The Jolly Balloon Man
Leverages copy effects and balloon-themed creature synergies to duplicate spells or creatures, generating incremental value and overwhelming opponents with repeated threats.
Felothar, Dawn of the Abzan
A +1/+1 counter focused deck that grows resilient creatures and value engines, aiming to dominate the board through incremental growth and powerful creatures enhanced by counters.
