Deck & Commander Strategies
Terra, Herald of Hope
Utilizes milling to fill the graveyard and recurs creatures like Plaguecrafter, generating value through forced sacrifices and disruption while maintaining board presence.
Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER
Leverages sacrifice synergies with creatures like Zulaport Cutthroat and Plaguecrafter to drain opponents' life while ramping into powerful artifacts and creatures to control the board.
Borborygmos Enraged
Focuses on landfall and aggressive damage, casting Borborygmos multiple times and using land sacrifice abilities to clear blockers and deal direct damage to opponents.
Gishath, Sun's Avatar
Ramp-heavy dinosaur tribal deck that capitalizes on casting dinosaurs to trigger Gishath's ability, dealing damage and generating board presence through discovery and recursion.
