Deck & Commander Strategies

  Sakashima of a Thousand Faces, Miara, Thorn of the Glade & Gyruda, Doom of Depths

  This three-headed commander deck focuses on casting Gyruda to mill cards from all players, fueling a cloning combo with Sakashima to copy Gyruda and other key creatures, ultimately overwhelming the board with Demon Krakens and other threats generated through milling and cloning synergies.

  Vorel of the Hull Clade

  Vorel’s deck uses a combination of burn spells and unsummon effects to control the board and deal damage based on hand size, focusing on incremental damage and tempo disruption to weaken opponents over time.

• 

  Arcades, the Strategist

  Arcades capitalizes on walls and creatures with defender, turning them into attackers through card draw and combat buffs. It aims to assemble a soft combo with cards like Axebane Guardian and High Alert to generate massive damage while protecting key combo pieces with interaction.
