(EDH) Dina Vs GoreClaw Vs Ghired Vs Locust God - Commander Gameplay Ep.52 (Feat. Andy from GPP!)

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma

  Ramp into large creatures and use Goreclaw's cost reduction and trample grant to flood the board with powerful threats that can deal massive combat damage.

• 

  Ghired, Conclave Exile

  Generate tokens aggressively, especially rhinos with trample, to overwhelm opponents through combat damage or burn spells.

• 

  Dina, Soul Steeper

  Gain incremental life through instances and combat triggers to fuel card draw and ping opponents, slowly eroding their life totals while maintaining board presence.

• 

  The Locust God

  Utilize draw engines, token generation, and wheel effects to maintain hand size advantage and create flying insect tokens to pressure opponents.
