Deck & Commander Strategies
Abomination of Llanowar
The deck aims to establish an elf synergy, withstanding board wipes and making bold attacks. The commander counts elves in the graveyard, maintaining a threat even after a board wipe.
Ranar the Ever-Watchful
The deck revolves around exiling cards, generating flying spirit tokens in the process. It employs various tricks like foretell, suspend, and removal, and uses blink spells to enhance its army.
Blex, Vexing Pest // Search for Blex
This mono-black reanimator deck uses the back side of the commander to dig for reanimation spells, dumping good targets into the graveyard. It also includes life gain to offset the life paid.
Sarkhan, Soul Aflame
This deck revolves around playing dragons and attacking. The commander reduces the cost of dragon spells, can take their form, and has themed cards to enhance the dragon-centric strategy.
