Ope! This Commander Deck is Going to Ramp Right Past You! | Ep 182 | Magic: The Gathering

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald

  Utilize exile-based recursion and spell casting to repeatedly reuse valuable cards, generating incremental advantage while potentially leveraging wolf tokens as a secondary plan.

• 

  Gandalf the White

  Cast legendary spells and artifacts to maximize enter-the-battlefield triggers, generating card draw and value while controlling the board.

• 

  Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer

  Exploit Landfall triggers by playing multiple lands each turn to create tokens and grow Greensleeves’ power, gradually overwhelming opponents with a growing army.

• 

  Myrel, Shield of Argive

  Establish board control by generating soldier tokens and preventing opponents from acting on your turn, building a resilient soldier army to pressure opponents.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Myrel’s ability to prevent opponents from doing anything on her turn creates a strong tempo advantage and defensive wall that shapes the flow of the game.

• 2

  Gandalf’s use of legendary spells and artifacts to trigger multiple enter-the-battlefield effects provides significant card draw and board presence.

• 3

  Using Liquidmetal Torque to turn a non-artifact permanent into an artifact effectively removes a key token (Sakura-Tribe Elder) early, disrupting ramp strategies.

• 4

  Greensleeves’ Landfall synergy incentivizes playing multiple lands and generating tokens each turn, steadily applying pressure through incremental growth.

• 5

  Players focus on ramp spells like Cultivate and mana rocks to accelerate their game plans and ensure steady land drops to fuel their commanders’ abilities.
