Zedruu vs Roon vs Slimefoot vs Muldrotha EDH / CMDR game play for Magic: The Gathering

Deck Strategies

• 

  Zedruu the Greathearted

  A pillowfort and group hug style deck that leverages giving opponents permanents while drawing cards and controlling the pace of the game through incremental advantage and board wipes.

• 

  Roon of the Hidden Realm

  Blink and flicker control, enabling value from enter-the-battlefield effects and disrupting opponents’ strategies by exiling key creatures and reusing their own permanents.

• 

  Slimefoot, the Stowaway

  Token generation and sacrifice synergy, producing saprolings to drain opponents’ life totals while using equipment and sacrifice outlets for card draw and incremental life gain.

• 

  Muldrotha, the Gravetide

  Graveyard recursion powerhouse that repeatedly plays lands, creatures, and enchantments from the graveyard to overwhelm opponents with value and resource advantage.

Gameplay Insights
