Deck & Commander Strategies
Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow
Deck is filled with small, unblockable creatures which allow Yuriko to be ninjutsu'd into play. It also includes ways to manipulate the top of the library for Yuriko's ability, aiming to deal high damage to all opponents.
Braids, Conjurer Adept
The deck is built around Braids' ability to cheat in big, impactful cards for free. It includes numerous ways to copy or steal opponents' creatures, aiming for a game filled with huge plays on all sides.
Ruric Thar, the Unbowed
The strategy is to play big creatures and aggressively attack opponents. Non-creature spells are discouraged due to Ruric Thar's punishing ability.
Ludevic, Necro-Alchemist & Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis
This deck focuses on creatures with activated abilities, particularly those that tap, and ways to untap them for repeated use. The goal is to ping opponents to death over time.
