Deck & Commander Strategies
Luminous Broodmoth
Utilize Broodmoth’s ability to give flying counters to creatures that die without flying, enabling recurring threats with evasion. The deck aims to flood the board with creatures that can repeatedly return as flying attackers.
Muxus, Goblin Grandee
Goblin tribal focused on maximizing the horde of goblins cast from the deck, leveraging synergies and the free cast ability Muxus provides to overwhelm opponents quickly.
Rocco, Street Chef
Exile the top card of the deck each end step and cast spells or play lands from exile to generate 1/1 counters and food tokens, creating value and board presence through incremental resource generation.
Delney, Streetwise Lookout
Swarm with small creatures to trigger Delney’s ability repeatedly, generating multiple triggers and benefits from each creature entering and leaving the battlefield.
