Deck & Commander Strategies

Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain
Focuses on casting historic spells—artifacts, legendary creatures, and sagas—to draw cards and maintain a steady flow of resources, enabling powerful mid to late game plays.

The Scarab God
Utilizes graveyard interaction to create zombie tokens and control the board by recurring creatures; leverages life drain and card selection from scrying based on zombies controlled.

Breya, Etherium Shaper
Centers on artifact synergy, producing thopter tokens, and sacrificing artifacts to deal damage, remove threats, or gain life, enabling versatile responses and incremental advantage.

Kaalia of the Vast
Aggressively deploys powerful angels, demons, and dragons directly onto the battlefield when attacking, aiming to quickly overwhelm opponents with high-impact creatures.
