CommanderGameplay Ep.17 Selvala v Kotori v Kaust (disguise) v Kadena (Morph) v Shalai&Hallar MTG EDH

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Selvala, Heart of the Wilds

  Ramp quickly with green mana, cast large creatures, and use Selvala's ability to draw cards and untap lands to maintain tempo and pressure opponents.

• 

  Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer

  Exploit morph and face-down creature mechanics to cast creatures cheaply and draw cards whenever face-down creatures enter the battlefield under your control, enabling card advantage and flexible board presence.

• 

  Kaust, Eyes of the Glade

  Control the board by turning creatures face down to disrupt opponents and draw cards, leveraging artifact synergies and manipulating board states to maintain advantage.

• 

  Shalai and Hallar

  Build up +1/+1 counters on creatures, generate tokens via backup counters, and use life link and damage-dealing triggers to chip away at opponents while sustaining your board.

• 

  Kotori, Pilot Prodigy

  Cast and crew vehicles efficiently using cheap crewing costs, maintaining board presence through artifact creatures and synergizing with other artifact effects.
