Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Knuckles the Echidna

  Aggressively create treasure tokens through combat damage and equipment synergies to amass 30 artifacts, achieving a direct win via his Treasure Hunter ability. The deck uses red mono-color ramp, equipment, and extra turn cards to maximize attacks.

• 

  Prompto Argentum

  Leverage his ability to create treasure tokens when casting expensive non-creature spells to ramp mana quickly and apply early pressure with haste. The deck focuses on treasure generation and aggressive combat to outpace opponents.

• 

  Vincent, Vengeful Atoner

  Build Vincent’s power through combat damage triggers and extra combat phases, then use his chaos ability to deal damage to all opponents. The deck employs treasure mana acceleration and combat buffs to enable large, multi-opponent damage swings.

• 

  Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER / Sephiroth, One-Winged Angel

  Use sacrifice outlets and token generation to trigger card draw and life loss effects, aiming to transform Sephiroth and gain an emblem that punishes opponents whenever a creature dies. The deck focuses on attrition and incremental advantage through sacrificing creatures.

Gameplay Insights

  Prompto’s ability to generate treasure tokens from casting high-cost non-creature spells allowed rapid mana ramp and aggressive early attacks leveraging haste.

• 2

  Knuckles’ deck relied heavily on treasure token creation through combat and equipment triggers, with a win condition that required reaching a high artifact count, encouraging multiple attacks per turn.

• 3

  Sephiroth’s transformation and emblem generation created a persistent board state pressure that punished opponents for creature deaths, incentivizing a sacrifice-heavy strategy.

• 4

  Vincent’s damage doubling through the chaos ability and extra combat phases created potential for explosive multi-opponent damage, requiring opponents to carefully manage blockers and removal.

• 5

  The presence of multiple tutors and extra turn spells in Knuckles’ deck aimed to accelerate treasure accumulation and attack frequency, while the lack of mass land destruction kept the board relatively stable.

  Sacrifice outlets like Reassembling Skeleton and edict effects synergized well with Sephiroth’s abilities to both draw cards and drain life from opponents.
