Deck & Commander Strategies
Maelstrom Wanderer
This deck aims to maximize the cascade mechanic of the commander, focusing on casting large, impactful spells and creatures to dominate the battlefield.
Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath
This deck is built around land recursion and ramp, allowing for the repeated casting of Uro and potentially setting up late-game combos.
Yarok, the Desecrated
The strategy of this deck revolves around exploiting enter-the-battlefield (ETB) effects, aiming to double these effects with Yarok and potentially leading to a chain of powerful triggers.
Gargos, Vicious Watcher
This Hydra tribal deck seeks to swarm the battlefield with large Hydra creatures and leverage Gargos's fight mechanic to control the board.
