Deck & Commander Strategies
Breya, Etherium Shaper
Midrange control with combo finishers using Consult lines, Notion Thief and Windfall synergies, and Bomberman infinite mana combos with Izzet Salvagers. Utilizes efficient disruption and interaction to maintain control and combo out.
Thrasios, Triton Hero & Vial Smasher the Fierce
Divergent Control focuses on assembling instant-speed combo wins by casting both commanders and using Divergent Transformations to find key creatures like Notion Thief and Whirlpool Warrior. Combines multiple one-card combo lines and interactive control elements.
Niv-Mizzet, Parun
Ramp artifacts and control early game, then establish a Curiosity enchantment on Niv-Mizzet for infinite card draw and damage. Uses reshuffle effects like Time Twister or Whirlpool Warrior to reset the deck and continue the combo, aiming for a table wipe and win.
Shuffle Hulk (likely Thrasios & Tymna shell)
Fast combo deck that mills through the deck to assemble a Hulk + Blood Artist infinite combo for a quick kill. Uses tutors and protection spells to assemble and protect the combo while disrupting opponents.
