Deck & Commander Strategies
Terra, Magical Adept
Ramp aggressively with enchantments and lands, then cast large creatures like Summon Titan to generate powerful board presence and card advantage by milling and land recursion.

Focus on tutoring key combo pieces such as Razicth and Windcon, leveraging death triggers and token generation from Teysa to create multiple value streams and eventual combo win conditions.

Leverage Murok tribal synergies with explore mechanics and Hardened Scales to rapidly grow creatures and ramp lands, enabling quick aggressive plays and card draw.
