Deck & Commander Strategies
Zara, Renegade Recruiter
Steal opponents' powerful creatures with Zara's ability, then use Sundial of the Infinite to keep them permanently. The deck also has ways to sacrifice these creatures or keep them for further use.
Esix, Fractal Bloom
Generate a multitude of tokens and, through Esix's ability, transform them into copies of powerful creatures already on the battlefield.
Jodah, Archmage Eternal
Assemble all five mana colors to cast any spell for only five mana, aiming to deploy terrifying Eldrazi at a discounted cost.
Volo, Guide to Monsters
Assemble a collection of formidable creatures from Magic's history and use Volo's ability to duplicate them, establishing a board full of powerful threats.
