Deck & Commander Strategies

  Tymna the Weaver

  Focuses on incremental card draw through combat damage and uses efficient spells and tutors to assemble a combo or gain incremental advantage, aiming to leverage creature combat for value and potential combo finishers.

• 

  Tana, the Bloodsower

  A token and sacrifice-based strategy that creates Saproling tokens and uses sacrifice outlets to generate value and combo potential, often aiming to combo out with infinite token sacrifice synergies.

• 

  Thrasios, Triton Hero // Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh

  A classic cEDH paired deck that focuses on efficient ramp, card selection, and combo enablers, utilizing Thrasios’ mana and card filtering alongside Rograkh’s aggressive damage capabilities and mana acceleration.

• 

  Magar of the Magic Strings

  A slower, grindy deck that leverages enchantments and artifact synergies, with a focus on controlling the board and gradually building value, though it struggles to compete with faster cEDH archetypes.

• 

  Lumra, Bellow of the Woods

  A landfall and land-sacrifice combo deck that aims to abuse multiple land drops per turn to trigger combos, often relying on sac outlets and land ramp to generate infinite or overwhelming value.
