Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Thrasios, Triton Hero & Ravos, Soultender

  This four-color combo deck aims to assemble a sequence of powerful creatures and spells that generate lethal damage or overwhelming board advantage, often leveraging cards like Brightclimb Gearhulk and Finale of Devastation to combo out. The deck uses efficient mana acceleration and tutors to piece together its combo line quickly, while counterspells protect its key plays.

• 

  Glarb, Calamity's Augur

  The Sultai reanimator deck focuses on putting powerful creatures into the graveyard and reanimating them to apply pressure and disrupt opponents. Glarb provides consistent topdeck manipulation and mana fixing, enabling smooth deployment of threats like Grist and Archon of Cruelty. The deck uses removal and sacrifice outlets to maintain control while building a threatening board presence.
