Deck & Commander Strategies
Captain Ripley Vance
A mono-red burn and spell-heavy deck that leverages casting multiple spells each turn to trigger Misfortune's damage abilities, aiming to quickly chip away at opponents through incremental damage and direct burn.
Gregor, Shrewd Magistrate
A creature-based deck that uses Glenn, the Voice of Calm's evasive abilities and card draw on combat damage to generate card advantage and maintain pressure on opponents.
Breya, Etherium Shaper
An artifact and robot tribal deck centered on deploying artifact creatures with synergy, using equipment like Cranial Plating to enhance creatures and generate value through artifact interactions and energy mechanics.
Titania, Voice of Gaea
A ramp-heavy deck focused on accelerating mana production through lands and ramp spells, aiming to combine Titania with synergistic cards to return lands from the graveyard, generate massive mana, and overwhelm opponents with large creatures.
