Deck & Commander Strategies

  Ruby, Daring Tracker

  Accelerate mana production from early turns to cast big spells quickly, and use Ruby's ability to generate additional mana. Focus on deploying powerful creatures and spells to dominate the board.

• 

  Orthion, Hero of Lavabrink

  Generate multiple haste creature tokens by copying existing creatures to create red chaos and incremental damage with sacrifice synergies, leveraging effects like Warstorm Surge and Impact Tremors.

• 

  Thromok the Insatiable

  Devour creatures to grow into a massive trampling threat, then use haste and damage redirection or fling effects to finish opponents rapidly.

• 

  Akroma, Vision of Ixidor & Kamahl, Heart of Krosa

  Ramp mana aggressively with mana doublers and triplers to cast large commanders early. Use their keyword-granting abilities to turn lands and creatures into overwhelming threats for a big alpha strike.
