PreDH, aka pre-2011 Commander! | Commander Clash S14 E10

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Dromar, the Banisher

  Utilize Dromar’s ability to bounce all creatures of a chosen color when it deals combat damage to disrupt opponents’ boards and control the pace of the game. The deck focuses on flying threats and tempo plays to maintain pressure and protect Dromar.

• 

  Rubinia Soulsinger

  Steal opponent’s creatures and leverage sacrifice synergies to maximize value. The deck combines theft with Aristocrats-style effects, sacrificing stolen creatures before returning them to opponents to gain incremental advantage and maintain board presence.

• 

  Teneb, the Harvester

  Play a strong flying threat that recurs creatures from graveyards upon dealing combat damage. The deck uses graveyard recursion to outvalue opponents over time and sustain pressure through repeated creature threats.

• 

  Darien, King of Kjeldor

  Mono-white token generation and life gain, aiming to create a defensive board presence. Despite lacking modern ramp and card draw, the deck focuses on incremental value through creature tokens and damage mitigation.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Dromar’s ability to bounce creatures en masse forced opponents to carefully consider board development and pacing, proving a strong tempo tool in a slower format.

• 2

  Rubinia’s synergy with sacrificing stolen creatures introduced a unique interaction that leverages both disruption and Aristocrats-style incremental advantage.

• 3

  The limited card pool led to slower, more methodical gameplay, emphasizing positioning, mana development, and timing over explosive combos or huge card advantage.

• 4

  Darien’s mono-white deck highlighted the challenges of old-school mono-white strategies lacking modern ramp and card draw, requiring careful resource management and defensive play.

• 5

  Teneb’s graveyard recursion created sustained threat presence and value, making removal less effective and encouraging opponents to adapt to recurring threats.
