I Hate Your Deck #116 Teval v Tiny Bones v Commodore Guff v Maha || Commander Gameplay MTG EDH

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Teval, the Balanced Scale

  Utilizes landfall triggers and graveyard recursion to generate board presence through zombie tokens and ramp lands, supported by green tutors to assemble key pieces.

• 

  Tinybones, Bauble Burglar

  Discards opponents' cards to exile them with stash counters, then casts those exiled cards to gain resource advantage and disrupt opponents' hands.

• 

  Maha, Its Feathers Night

  Reduces opponents' creatures to base power and toughness of one while applying -1/-1 counters to clear the board and attack with an advantaged board state.

• 

  Commodore Guff

  Supports a planeswalker-heavy deck that focuses on proliferating loyalty counters, drawing cards, dealing damage through planeswalker count, and protecting planeswalkers with multiple board wipes.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Teval's landfall and graveyard recursion synergy allowed for steady board development and token generation, making it difficult for opponents to keep pace without targeted removal.

• 2

  Tinybones' discard ability not only disrupted opponents' hands but also generated a unique resource pool by casting exiled cards, shifting the balance of power through resource denial and card advantage.

• 3

  Maha's strategy to weaken all opposing creatures to a base toughness and power of one synergized strongly with -1/-1 counter effects, resulting in frequent creature deaths and enabling effective aggressive swings.

• 4

  Commodore Guff's use of multiple board wipes was a critical defensive measure to protect planeswalkers, whose loyalty counters were incremented each turn to enable significant damage and card draw, emphasizing the value of planeswalker synergy in the game.

• 5

  The presence of powerful tutors in several decks enabled faster access to key cards, intensifying the midgame power spikes and forcing opponents to interact quickly or risk losing ground.

• 6

  Mass land destruction cards like Obliterate and Josu Vess introduced a strategic timing element, where players had to balance board presence with the threat of a devastating wipe that spares planeswalkers, shaping defensive and offensive priorities.
