Deck & Commander Strategies

  Utilizes mill to pressure opponents' libraries while deploying various Jace planeswalkers and mill-related cards to generate card advantage and control the board.

• 

  Reki, the History of Kamigawa

  Focuses on casting legendary spells to draw cards and maintain board presence, often using equipment to protect the commander and leverage synergy with legendary permanents.

• 

  Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer

  Leverages morph creatures to cheat out threats at reduced cost while drawing cards whenever face-down creatures enter the battlefield, creating a tempo and card advantage engine.

• 

  Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm

  A dragon tribal deck that ramps aggressively and applies pressure through flying dragons with haste, drawing cards and growing creatures through combat damage triggers.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Early mill effects from Ruin Crab steadily pressured opponents’ decks, shaping decisions around graveyard interaction and card advantage.

• 2

  The use of Silver Library to gain extra card draw synergized well with the spell-heavy decks, increasing resource flow despite some misplays.

• 3

  Kadena’s morph discount and draw triggers allowed for tempo plays that challenged opponents to respond promptly or lose value.

• 4

  Reki’s casting of legendary spells combined with equipment like Lightning Greaves maximized both protection and card draw output, making the commander a threatening presence.

• 5

  Players held back interaction and counterspells early, creating a tense atmosphere that rewarded careful sequencing and bluffing around mana availability.
