Deck & Commander Strategies
Ellivere of the Wild Court
An aura-based deck that builds up creatures with powerful enchantments to generate value and overwhelming board presence, aiming to win through commander damage and aura synergy.
Arna Kennerüd, Skycaptain
A deck focused on doubling non-token permanents and drawing cards through Sage's Revery, leveraging auras and token generation to enhance combat effectiveness and card advantage.
Wulfgar of Icewind Dale
Aggressively ramps mana and uses creatures like World Wagon and Wolfgar's melee triggers to generate treasures and lands, enabling multiple combat phases for sustained pressure.
Vren, the Relentless
Sacrifice and exile synergy deck that creates relentless rat tokens through creatures like Merciless Executioner and leverages Vren's ability to generate value from creatures leaving the battlefield.
Gameplay Insights

Shane's use of Farewell to exile almost all permanents except artifacts effectively reset the board, allowing him to rebuild with aura synergy intact.

Eric's Merciless Executioner forced sacrifices that generated multiple rat tokens, but he remained less aggressive than expected, focusing on card draw and incremental advantage.
- 3
Ten's Spark Double copying Arna led to explosive card draw and life gain through multiple aura triggers and Sage's Revery, enabling lethal commander damage.
- 4
Wulfgar's multiple combat steps with World Wagon and creature crew abilities created additional land drops and treasure tokens, enhancing resource generation.
- 5
The repeated use of aura stacking and exile effects created a resilient and difficult-to-remove board state, particularly for Shane's deck.
