Deck & Commander Strategies

Kratos, God of War
Aggressively pressure opponents by leveraging Kratos's ability to deal damage equal to the number of creatures that did not attack each turn, forcing combat decisions and dealing consistent damage.

Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor
Utilize damage-based removal and life payment to draw cards, building card advantage to cast multiple spells from opponents’ libraries and overwhelm the table with resources.

Donatello, Gadget Master
Exploit artifact synergies by creating token copies of artifacts upon combat damage, enabling combo potential and board presence through artifact replication.

Aerith Gainsborough
Gain life and accumulate +1/+1 counters on Aerith, growing her power and resilience over time to dominate combat and outlast opponents.
