MTG Pride Commander | Ral/Iroh Vs. Asmo/Peregrin Took Vs. Omo/Wandering Minstrel Vs. Zethi/Birgi

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Ral, Monsoon Mage // Iroh, Grand Lotus

  This deck uses Iroh’s food generation combined with spells and recursion to create a powerful engine. It leverages casting multiple instants and sorceries to trigger food production and grow Iroh while using land-fetching spells like Entish Restoration to ramp aggressively. The deck aims to win through a combination of storm-like spell casting and sustained food token synergies.

• 

  Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar // Peregrin Took

  Focused on creating tokens, especially food and blood tokens, this deck uses token production and sacrifice synergies to generate incremental value. Peregrin Took supports this by creating tokens and enabling resource generation, aiming to outvalue opponents with a steady flow of resources and incremental damage.

• 

  Omo, Queen of Vesuva // The Wandering Minstrel

  This deck appears to focus on land and creature synergies, using creatures that affect lands and top-deck manipulation (surveil) to control the game’s pace. It likely aims to utilize flexible lands and creatures to adapt to board states and create incremental advantage.

• 

  Zethi, Arcane Blademaster // Birgi, God of Storytelling

  This deck uses Zethi’s multikicker ability to exile and reuse instants and sorceries, leveraging Birgi’s ability to generate mana through attacking. It aims to build value from spells and combat damage, controlling the game through efficient spellcasting and combat triggers.
