Deck & Commander Strategies
Slicer, Hired Muscle // Slicer, High-Speed Antagonist
This mono-red Voltron Stax deck aims to get an early Slicer on the board and uses a mix of stax pieces to slow opponents. It leverages an equipment package for card advantage and a quick game end if unanswered.
Marwyn, the Nurturer
This proactive elf ball deck aims to assemble a storm-like win using pump spells and a critical mass of elves.
Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer
This deck takes advantage of having a tutor in the command zone to easily assemble flexible combo lines. It is very resilient, being able to take multiple win attempts.
Thrasios, Triton Hero // Tymna the Weaver
This is an aggressive list looking to leverage hermit druid and cephalid breakfast along with creature tutors to quickly piece together wins. It also has card advantage engines from the command zone.
