Deck & Commander Strategies
Miles "Tails" Prower
Focuses on artifact synergy, particularly vehicles with flying, drawing cards whenever a flying vehicle enters the battlefield, and leveraging flash and flying to maintain tempo and card advantage.
Shadow the Hedgehog
Utilizes creatures with haste or flash that can be sacrificed to draw cards, coupled with Chaos Control that grants split second to spells cast with artifact mana, preventing opponents from responding and maintaining control.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Aggressively builds a board of creatures with flash or haste, placing +1/+1 counters on them when Sonic attacks and generating treasure tokens when those creatures take damage, fueling further plays and pressure.
Dr. Eggman
Imposes discard choices on opponents at the end of his turn to disrupt their hands, while cheating out Constructs, Robots, and Vehicles from hand to maintain board presence and pressure.
