Deck & Commander Strategies
Dargo, the Shipwrecker / Tymna the Weaver
This deck focuses on recurring creatures and sacrificing them for value, leveraging Dargo’s ability to draw cards on creature sacrifice combined with Tymna’s card draw from combat damage. It aims to control the board and generate card advantage to assemble combos.
Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy
Kinnan’s deck accelerates mana production by exploiting nonland permanents to generate extra mana, enabling explosive plays and quick combo execution. The deck uses artifact synergies and green ramp to create large mana pools for lethal spells.
Marneus Calgar
Marneus Calgar’s deck likely emphasizes creature token generation and synergy with equipment or anthem effects to overwhelm opponents quickly, using low-cost creatures and combo pieces to secure the board and close the game fast.
Etali, Primal Conqueror
Etali’s deck revolves around casting big creatures and spells that trigger Etali’s ability to attack opponents and steal cards or damage them, generating card advantage and board presence. It looks to capitalize on top-deck manipulation for maximum impact.
Tymna the Weaver
Tymna’s strategy involves dealing combat damage to opponents to draw cards, supporting aggressive combat and synergy with low-cost creatures and sacrifice outlets to maintain card flow and pressure.
