Deck & Commander Strategies
Kellan, the Fae-Blooded
A Boros deck that uses Kellan's adventure ability to tutor for Auras and Equipment, aiming to assemble all three Kaldra equipment pieces to summon the 4/4 colorless Kaldra avatar and apply pressure quickly.
Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender
A colorless artifact combo deck where Syr Ginger grows stronger whenever artifacts die, enabling the player to filter through their deck rapidly to find combo pieces for a potential infinite combo and board dominance.
Alela, Cunning Conqueror
A Faerie tribal deck that creates flying tokens when opponents cast spells and stokes enemy creatures to prevent them from attacking, aiming to chip away with evasive damage and control the board through token generation and combat tricks.
Eriette of the Charmed Apple
An enchantment-heavy white-black deck that enchants opponent creatures to tap them down and prevent attacks while draining life based on the number of Auras controlled, combining control elements with life gain to outlast opponents.
