    Szarel's ability to play lands from the graveyard combined with sacrificing lands to boost creatures created a resilient and growing board state that synergized well with +1/+1 counter doublers.

    Inspirit's artifact-centric strategy maximized the synergy between charge counters and +1/+1 counters, turning the commander into a nearly unstoppable flying threat with hexproof and indestructibility.

  • 4
