Deck & Commander Strategies
Talion, The Kindly Lord
The deck's strategy involves utilizing control elements to manipulate board state and keep opponents' threats in check. It aims to create a lock on the game and drain opponents' life totals.
Atraxa, Grand Unifier
Atraxa's deck is a midrange strategy that aims to leverage Atraxa's proliferate ability alongside a variety of counter-based cards. It also has a Food Chain combo as its primary win condition.
Malcom & Kediss
This deck is built around a combo of Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator and Glint-Horn Buccaneer. It plans to get an extra creature onto the battlefield and use polymorph to put Glint-Horn Buccaneer onto the battlefield, which then combo with Malcolm to generate enough Treasure tokens to pay for Glint-Horn Buccaneer's activations.
Najeela, Blade-Blossom
Najeela's deck revolves around the creation of a large number of warrior tokens and leveraging them to win through combat damage, taking advantage of Najeela's ability to untap and give them additional combat phases.
