We Only Play Mythics | Commander Clash S11E14

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Esika, God of the Tree

  Utilizes her ability to cheat big mythics directly onto the battlefield from the top of the deck, aiming for explosive late-game board presence and leveraging a cycle-based deck built entirely of mythic rare cards.

• 

  Nicol Bolas, the Ravager

  Focuses on powerful black mythic sweepers and control spells to dominate the board, aiming to stabilize early and transition into casting large mythic creatures to overwhelm opponents.

• 

  Mangara, the Diplomat

  Centers around diplomatic control and interaction, using mythic rares to manipulate the board and protect itself while slowly gaining advantage through disruption and value generation.

• 

  Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath

  Built around value and life gain from mythic creatures, aiming to outlast opponents with incremental advantage, though hampered by a high mana curve due to the mythic-only restriction.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  The mythic-only restriction led to unusually high mana curves, significantly slowing early game development and ramp.

• 2

  Esika's ability to cheat big creatures from the top of the deck was a pivotal tool for accelerating board presence despite the high cost of most cards.

• 3

  Nicol Bolas's access to mythic sweepers helped maintain board control in a format lacking cheap removal and counterspells.

• 4

  Players had to carefully balance playing high-impact mythics with the lack of early game ramp and interaction, making timing critical.

• 5

  The absence of typical low-cost ramp and interaction cards forced players to rely on less conventional approaches and powerful late-game plays.
