Deck & Commander Strategies
Chatterfang, Squirrel General
Generate a large number of squirrel tokens through Chatterfang’s ability and token doublers, then leverage aristocrats effects and combat damage to drain opponents and secure victory.

Play numerous evasive creatures to maximize card draw, chain multiple extra turn spells to extend the game, and finish with a large pump spell like Craterhoof Behemoth or Triumph of the Horde.
Omnath, Locus of Rage
Ramp aggressively into Omnath and play lands repeatedly to generate 5/5 elemental tokens via landfall, drawing cards and maintaining board dominance with elemental synergies.
