Deck & Commander Strategies

Clavileño, First of the Blessed
Build a vampire tribal board and use Clavileño's ability to transform all vampires into demons, creating vampire demon tokens and benefiting from sacrifice synergies to generate card advantage and board presence.

Grenzo, Dungeon Warden
Utilize Grenzo's ability to put creatures from the library directly onto the battlefield, aiming to assemble a unique infinite combo, while refraining from casting instants or sorceries to maximize synergy.

Lord of the Nazgûl
Create a swarm of Nazgûl tokens to overwhelm opponents, leveraging tribal synergies and buffs to maintain board control and pressure life totals.

Tetsuo, Imperial Champion
Voltron strategy focused on equipping Tetsuo with powerful artifacts to build a threatening, high-impact commander that can deal significant damage through combat, supported by spells and ramp.
