I Hate Your Deck #131 Grist v Electro v Wraith v Nethroi || Commander Gameplay MTG EDH

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Electro, Assaulting Battery

  Generate and retain red mana through casting instants and sorceries to build up a storm-like effect and burn opponents with large damage spells.

• 

  Grist, Voracious Larva

  Mill creatures into the graveyard and use graveyard recursion to flip the commander into a planeswalker that creates insect tokens and destroys problematic permanents, eventually overwhelming opponents with a swarm.

• 

  Nethroi, Apex of Death

  Fill the graveyard with creature cards and use mutate to return a large number of creatures with total power 10 or less back onto the battlefield, creating a formidable board presence.

• 

  Wraith, Vicious Vigilante

  Play a Voltron-style deck with equipment and auras to build a large, unblockable commander dealing double strike damage, supported by control spells to protect the commander and disrupt opponents.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Electro's ability to store unspent red mana at the end of steps and phases allowed for explosive turns with multiple spells and high storm counts.

• 2

  Grist’s transformation mechanic triggered by casting creatures from the graveyard or returning them from it provided resilience and a steady generation of insect tokens.

• 3

  Nethroi’s mutate ability was a pivotal method to return a large board state from the graveyard, which was key to swinging the game in his favor.

• 4

  Wraith’s unblockable and double strike abilities combined with control spells required opponents to quickly deal with her before she could close out the game through commander damage.

• 5

  Opposition Agent was used effectively to disrupt tutors, limiting the tutoring power of opponents and slowing down their game plans.

• 6

  Players utilized key tutors like Open the Armory and Enlightened Tutor to find critical auras and equipment to protect and enhance their commanders.
