Deck & Commander Strategies

  • The Jolly Balloon Man

    The Jolly Balloon Man

    This deck aims to create copies of creatures as one-one red balloons with flying. The deck also has a modular theme, allowing it to take advantage of the counters on the balloons when they are sacrificed at the end step.

  • Kona, Rescue Beastie

    Kona, Rescue Beastie

    A classic mono-green approach, this deck aims to ramp quickly, play a lot of lands, and summon large green creatures to control the board.

  • Marina Vendrell

    Marina Vendrell

    This five-color deck leverages the power of runes. With Marina in play, the player can unlock the expensive side of the runes, triggering card draw and adding counters to creatures.

  • The Mindskinner

    The Mindskinner

    This deck uses its unblockable commander to deal damage and mill opponents, while also running some large blue creatures for additional threats.
