Deck & Commander Strategies
Mr. House, President and CEO
Utilizes dice rolling to generate treasures and card advantage, combining gambling mechanics with artifact synergies to build an economic engine that supports casting high-impact spells.
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl
Produces a large number of squirrel tokens rapidly to overwhelm opponents, leveraging her ability to create squirrels on entering and attacking, and then generating even more tokens based on squirrel count.
Beorn the Fierce
A bear tribal deck that ramps aggressively to cast large bear creatures and uses graveyard recursion to produce more bear token creatures, focusing on board presence and synergy among bear creatures.
Bello, Bard of the Brambles
Transforms artifacts and enchantments with mana value four or greater into powerful 4/4 elemental creatures with haste and indestructible, drawing cards when dealing combat damage to players, aiming for an artifact/enchantment-based beatdown.
Gameplay Insights

Bello's ability to turn non-equipment artifacts and enchantments with mana value four or greater into 4/4 indestructible hasty elementals was pivotal, allowing for aggressive swings and card draw that kept the deck rolling.
- 2
Squirrel Girl's token generation proved a steady threat that forced opponents to consider board wipes or blocking, as her ability to create squirrels both on entry and attack built a growing army.

Beorn leveraged ramp spells like Rampant Growth and Wild Growth to quickly deploy large bears and use graveyard recursion for token generation, establishing strong board presence early.
- 4
Mr. House's dice-rolling and treasure generation strategy enabled slow but consistent resource accumulation, laying the groundwork for larger plays later in the game.
- 5
Multiple players prioritized ramp and establishing board states early, indicating a focus on mid-game power spikes rather than early aggression.
- 6
Interactions between haste granted by Bello's elementals and aggressive token creation by other decks created dynamic combat phases, increasing the game's tempo and complexity.
