Deck & Commander Strategies
Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain
Focuses on casting historic spells to draw cards and generate value, ramping quickly into powerful finishers with treasure tokens and flicker effects to protect key pieces and trigger additional draws.
Tymna the Weaver and Tana, the Bloodsower
Combines aggressive creature-based strategies with card draw from combat damage and token generation; uses disruption and efficient creatures to maintain pressure on opponents.
Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh and Silas Renn, Seeker Adept
Leverages aggressive tutoring and artifact synergies, deploying threats early and protecting them with counterspells and removal to control the board and capitalize on damage output.
Niv-Mizzet, Parun
Utilizes spell-slinging and reactive damage through Niv-Mizzet’s ability to draw cards and ping opponents, paired with countermagic and control elements to dominate the late game.
