Gale vs Alesha vs Scion of the Ur dragon vs Thrasios & Rograkh cEDH gameplay

Deck & Commander Strategies

  Scion of the Ur-Dragon

  Ramp quickly to cast Scion, then use its ability to draw cards and generate treasure tokens while reanimating dragons to build a dominant board presence.

• Thrasios & Rograkh

  Utilize mana dorks and artifact ramp like Max Amber and Ragavan to accelerate mana, then assemble infinite mana combos with Cloudstone Curio and zero-cost creatures to win through infinite mana or value.

  Gale with Scion of Halaster

  Leverage Gale's ability to recast key spells like Demonic Tutor and Brainstorm, combined with Scion of Halaster's background for recursion, to find and assemble combo pieces efficiently.

• 

  Alesha, Who Smiles at Death

  Use Alesha's ability to reanimate powerful creatures like Razaketh to assemble combos with cards like Mayhem Devil and Lyra Dawnbringer for board control and combo kills.
