Deck Strategies
Liliana, Heretical Healer
This deck focuses on causing opponents to discard cards, generating value from 'Waste Not', and likely other similar effects. It's not focused on any particular win condition, but rather on disrupting opponents and capitalizing on their discards.
Atraxa, Praetors' Voice
The deck employs an anti-proliferate strategy that manipulates counters on sagas to reuse their abilities. It aims to generate value over time and manipulate game mechanics in a way that opponents may not be prepared for.
Sisay, Weatherlight Captain
The deck is uniquely built around secret lair cards. Its strategy is to leverage Sisay's ability to tutor for powerful legendary cards and use them to out-value opponents.
Tor Wauki the Younger
The deck is composed entirely of one-drop cards, aiming to deal amplified non-combat damage with spells. It uses its commander to add damage and take advantage of the low-cost spells it can consistently play.
Gameplay Insights
- 1
Tor Wauki's deck, despite being composed entirely of one-drop cards, has potential for high damage output due to the commander's ability to amplify non-combat damage.

The use of 'Waste Not' in the Liliana deck can lead to a multitude of benefits for the player, especially when opponents are forced to discard multiple cards.

Sisay's deck strategy is unique due to the self-imposed 'secret lair cards only' limitation, which can both limit options and add unpredictability to the game.

Atraxa's anti-proliferate strategy can potentially disrupt opponents' plans by manipulating counters on their permanents, especially on sagas.
