Mia’s Deck Makes Us Rage Quit | Shadow vs Gix vs Svella vs Hojo | Magic the Gathering Commander

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Shadow the Hedgehog

  Aggressively leverage creatures with haste and flash that generate card advantage when they or other similar creatures die, combined with split-second spells and treasure token generation to overwhelm opponents quickly.

• 

  Professor Hojo

  Develop a board of creatures with +1/+1 counters to gain incremental value and card advantage, using synergies around counters and creatures like Spike Drone to control and outvalue opponents.

• 

  Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor

  Utilize a swarm of inexpensive creatures to generate massive card draw through Gix’s triggered ability, maintaining a steady flow of resources while applying pressure with evasive creatures.

• 

  Svella, Ice Shaper

  Ramp aggressively with mana untapping effects on lands and creatures to cast large threats early, controlling the board through powerful creatures and manipulation of the mana base.
