Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Liesa, Forgotten Archangel

  Build a board presence through token generation and life gain; use creature destruction and sacrifice effects to drain opponents' life and gain incremental advantage, culminating in overwhelming combat damage.

• 

  Vadrik, Astral Archmage

  Leverage equipment to boost the commander and reduce the cost of instants and sorceries, enabling powerful spellcasting to control the board and damage opponents indirectly.

• 

  Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver

  Exploit creature deaths to generate and grow a zombie army, reanimating creatures from graveyards to flood the board and overpower opponents through sheer numbers.

• 

  The Mimeoplasm

  Mill and self-mill aggressively to fill graveyards, then reanimate strong creatures and combine them via the commander’s ability to create a powerful 'Frankenstein' creature capable of dealing lethal commander damage.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Wilhelt’s ability to sacrifice zombies to generate more zombies and reanimate from graveyards created a snowball effect that pressured opponents continuously.

• 2

  Vadrik’s use of equipment to reduce spell costs allowed for impactful reactive plays that slowed down aggressive board states.

• 3

  The Mimeoplasm’s strategy of milling both opponents and self to fill graveyards enabled powerful reanimation combos that could end the game in a single strike.

• 4

  Liesa’s life gain and token generation worked well with sacrifice effects to drain opponents’ life totals incrementally while maintaining board presence.

• 5

  The decision to avoid traditional instant-win combos and instead focus on strong graveyard reanimation led to a tense midgame where board control and resource management were key.
