Deck Strategies
The Infamous Cruelclaw
The deck's strategy seems to be based on aggression with Cruelclaw's menace ability and potentially land destruction or land-based tactics, as indicated by the all-land exile.
Baylen, the Haymaker
Baylen's deck seems to be focused on token generation and card draw, using the commander's ability along with 'Altech Mana Weaver' and 'Caretaker's Talent' to create a large board state and draw engine.
Helga, Skittish Seer
Helga's strategy seems to revolve around casting big creatures like 'Coloni Hydra' to trigger the commander's abilities and gain incremental advantages.
Ygra, Eater of All
Ygra's deck appears to be built around life-loss and life-gain mechanics, with cards such as 'Cauldron Familiar' and 'Zulaport Cutthroat' hinting at a possible aristocrat-style strategy.
