Deck & Commander Strategies

  Tiamat

  Turbo Tiamat decks focus on fast mana acceleration and tutoring to cheat powerful dragons and combo pieces into play, often through the Academy Rector line to cast Draco Genesis or Dream Halls, aiming to overwhelm opponents with massive board presence and explosive win conditions.

• 

  Etali, Primal Conqueror

  Etali decks leverage aggressive creature combat with Etali's ability to deal damage and steal cards, supported by ramp and disruption to maintain pressure and close games quickly through tempo advantage and value from combat damage triggers.

  Dina decks utilize lifegain and sacrifice synergies, combining incremental value from creatures and spells with disruption and board presence to control the pace and outlast opponents, often winning through attrition and incremental advantage.

  Kilo, Apogee Mind

  Kilo decks aim to generate incremental card advantage and control through spells and abilities, using interaction and tempo plays to manage threats while setting up for a powerful finish via combos or overwhelming board states.

• 

  Xyris, the Writhing Storm

  Xyris decks focus on proliferate and +1/+1 counter synergies, enhancing creatures and leveraging value engines to amplify threats and gain incremental advantage, eventually winning through combat damage or combo finishes.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  The Turbo Tiamat deck exploits the Academy Rector combo to cheat out game-ending spells quickly, often before opponents can mount effective responses.

• 2

  Efficient sequencing of spells, including casting Gamble and Eternal Witness in succession, maximizes card advantage and sets up explosive turns.

• 3

  Players use careful priority passing and stack management to resolve multiple triggers from creatures like Deathrite Shaman and spells such as Impalement, optimizing value.

• 4

  Force of Vigor is used proactively to disrupt key artifact and enchantment combos, demonstrating the importance of interaction in cEDH.

• 5

  Despite having protective elements and interaction available, the speed of the Tiamat decks often leaves opponents with insufficient time or mana to respond effectively.
