Deck & Commander Strategies
Kykar, Wind's Fury
A Voltron build focused on equipping artifacts to Kykar to deal commander damage. Generates flying spirit tokens from non-creature spells and uses them for mana, aiming to win through commander damage and artifact synergy.
Kellan, the Kid
Leverages spells cast from outside the hand and top-of-library manipulation to cast multiple permanents at once or cheat expensive cards into play, gaining tempo and card advantage through free casting interactions.
Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima
Utilizes small evasive creatures and combat damage triggers to steadily chip away at opponents, aiming for incremental damage and value from combat-focused synergy.
Aloy, Savior of Meridian
Focuses on artifact and vehicle synergies with a discover/reveal mechanic to generate card advantage and board presence. Builds around artifact creatures and vehicles to overwhelm opponents with efficient threats.
