Commander Legends | Game Knights 40 | Magic The Gathering Gameplay EDH

Deck Strategies

• Rograkh and Akroma

  Rachel's strategy was to leverage Rograkh's zero mana cost to have a commander on board from the very first turn. The deck was filled with creatures having numerous keywords to synergize with Akroma's ability to buff them, with the aim of dealing a lot of damage.

• Jeska and Kamahl

  Joe's strategy was to generate a lot of mana early on, cast a multitude of creatures, and then use Kamahl's and Jeska's abilities to pump them up and deal significant damage.

• Toggo and Kodama

  The main strategy of Josh's deck was to generate a lot of rock tokens using Toggo and then find interesting ways to use them, including throwing them at opponents. Kodama was included primarily for access to green mana.

• Sakashima and Tevesh Szat

  Jimmy's deck was a clone strategy, aiming to copy the best creatures on the board and change them at will for maximum value. Tevesh Szat and other powerful creatures were included to provide potent clone targets.
