Commander VS S10E1: Yahenni vs Rishkar vs Ramos vs Balan

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Yahenni, Undying Partisan

  The deck aims to exploit Yahenni's ability to grow stronger each time a creature dies, focusing on self-sacrifice and graveyard recursion.

• 

  Rishkar, Peema Renegade

  This deck uses +1/+1 counter synergies to ramp up mana and increase creature power. Also has a significant focus on Green's big creatures.

• 

  Ramos, Dragon Engine

  The strategy is to cast a variety of multicolored spells to add counters to Ramos, and then remove those counters to generate large amounts of mana for even more powerful plays.

• 

  Balan, Wandering Knight

  The deck is built around a Voltron strategy, seeking to equip Balan with multiple pieces of equipment and then dealing lethal commander damage to opponents.
