Deck & Commander Strategies
Ms. Bumbleflower
This deck aims to generate value by allowing opponents to draw cards and putting +1/+1 counters on creatures, gaining additional benefits when casting multiple spells per turn.
Bello, Bard of the Brambles
This deck is built around non-creature permanents, animating them into 4/4 creatures with haste and indestructible. It potentially aims to overrun the board with large, unkillable threats.
Zinnia, Valley's Voice
This deck is designed to swarm the board with creature tokens and copies of those creatures. The strategy involves both going wide with many creatures and going tall with an increasingly large Zinnia.
Hazel of the Rootbloom
This deck appears to revolve around a squirrel token and sacrifice strategy, with Hazel providing benefits for them. An early Toski, Bearer of Secrets suggests a card draw engine in addition to a go-wide strategy.
