Deck Strategies
Rendmaw, Creaking Nest
The Rendmaw deck aims to create a board full of bird tokens and scarecrows, and hopes to outlast opponents by having the most creatures on the board.
Storm, Force of Nature
The Storm deck focuses on casting big spells and attacking with large creatures, leveraging the commander's abilities to reduce the cost of these spells.
Disa the Restless
The Disa deck leverages card synergies to create a powerful engine, using Survival of the Fittest to search for key creatures and using Disa's abilities to generate token creatures.
Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim/Lurrus of the Dream-Den
The Elas Il-Kor & Lurrus deck utilizes a small creature Aristocrat strategy, with ways to recur those creatures for continuous value. Lurrus serves as a companion, providing additional recursion.
