Galazeth Prismari vs Meren vs Animar vs Uril EDH / CMDR game play for Magic: The Gathering

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Galazeth Prismari

  Generate treasures through casting instants and sorceries to ramp mana quickly, enabling powerful spells and multiple attacks to control the board and chip away at opponents.

• 

  Meren of Clan Nel Toth

  Accumulate experience counters by sacrificing creatures and replaying them from the graveyard to gain incremental value and drain opponents' life totals through persistent board presence.

• 

  Animar, Soul of Elements

  Cast low-cost creatures to put +1/+1 counters on Animar, ramping it rapidly to huge sizes and using card draw and bounce loops to protect and grow the board state for a swift, overwhelming offense.

• 

  Uril, the Miststalker

  Enhance Uril with enchantments to create a resilient and large attacker, focusing on combat damage to eliminate opponents while protecting Uril with his inherent protections.
