Deck & Commander Strategies
Gwenom, Remorseless
Aggressively deploy cheap black creatures and equipment to incrementally chip away at opponents' life totals, leveraging artifact synergies and combat triggers to maintain pressure.
Celes, Rune Knight
Utilize creature-based aggression combined with tutors and utility creatures to disrupt and control the board while searching for key disruptive pieces to enable a quick win.

Ramp aggressively into big creatures and leverage card advantage spells like Wheel of Fortune to maximize pressure and create opportunities to close the game with devastating attacks.
Terra, Magical Adept
Establish a strong mana base and card draw engine with enchantments and artifacts, then use sacrifice synergies and powerful creatures like Mayhem Devil and Overlord of the Baloth to control the board and recover resources.
