Our Favorite Decks From 2022 | Commander Clash S13 E23

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign

  Leverages attacking to cast random odd-cost cards from the top of the deck, creating a high variance and potentially powerful or detrimental effects, relying on unpredictability and surprise to control the game.

• 

  Zevlor, Elturel Exile

  Utilizes artifact synergies and control elements to build value and maintain board presence, with a focus on disrupting opponents and ramping to powerful plays.

• 

  Mishra, Eminent One

  Focuses on artifact value and synergy, generating incremental advantage through artifact interactions to overwhelm opponents with resource advantage and powerful board states.

• 

  Slicer, Hired Muscle

  Operates as a group-hug deck that spreads benefits across players but also has a strong aggressive artifact-based component that can deal significant damage and pressure opponents.

Gameplay Insights

  Yennett's Russian Roulette mechanic created tension as opponents debated whether to allow attacks to resolve, leading to interesting interactions and forced responses.

• 2

  Counter magic effectively slowed down Yennett's attempts to capitalize on casting random spells, highlighting the importance of interaction against high-variance strategies.

• 3

  Artifact ramp and token generation were crucial for Zevlor and Mishra to establish board presence and maintain threat levels.
