Deck & Commander Strategies
Infinite Guideline Station
Generate a large number of artifact creature tokens based on multicolor permanents, creating a wide board presence to overwhelm opponents.
Mm'menon, the Right Hand
Use blue artifact synergies and Mm'menon's ability to cast spells from outside the hand, focusing on card advantage and tempo through flying creatures.
Tannuk, Steadfast Second
Cheat out artifact and red creatures with haste at a discount, exile them after attacking to recast later, enabling multiple attack phases and sustained pressure.
Tannuk, Memorial Ensign
Gruul Landfall deck that punishes opponents with incremental damage whenever lands enter the battlefield, aiming to drain opponents' life totals through repeated triggers.
