Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Extus, Oriq Overlord

  Leverages sacrifice outlets to reduce the cost of the 'Awaken the Blood Avatar' sorcery side, producing a large haste avatar that deals damage to all opponents each attack, supporting an aristocrats-style game plan.

• 

  Tifa, Martial Artist

  Focuses on gaining extra combat phases to repeatedly attack opponents, increasing damage output and pressure through multiple combat steps.

• 

  Agatha of the Vile Cauldron

  Utilizes power-buffing Agatha to reduce the cost of activated abilities on creatures, enabling efficient activation of a unique synergy built around a deck with precisely 26 creatures, one for each letter of the alphabet.

• 

  Appa, Steadfast Guardian

  Employs flicker effects to repeatedly exile and return non-land permanents, generating 1/1 white ally tokens and gaining incremental value through synergy with spells cast from exile.
