Strategy Guides
Aggro Strategy Guide
Aggro decks are for players who want to commit threats early, attack often, and make combat math matter every turn. This strategy wants to pressure all opponents with efficient attackers, using anthems, haste, attack triggers, extra combats, and aggro commanders, to win through repeated combat damage before slower engines stabilize. In Commander that still means pushing through 120 total damage, so go-wide aggro EDH decks need refueling and scaling damage rather than only fast starts. Aggro differs from Tokens because it focuses on attacking with the bodies, from Voltron because it spreads pressure across many creatures, and from Infect because it deals life-total damage instead of poison.
Group Hug Strategy Guide
Group Hug decks are for players who want table politics to matter as much as board position. This strategy wants to give everyone extra cards, lands, or mana, using group hug commanders and symmetrical resource effects, to win through political leverage, hidden payoffs, or a carefully timed finish. Unlike Lifegain, it does not make your own life total the engine; it gives resources away and tries to profit from who uses them. The best political decks EDH players remember are frank about the risk: your gifts can help the wrong player first.
