Flare Star — If a Wizard you control would deal damage to a permanent or player, it deals double that damage instead.

Strategy Guides
Spellslinger Strategy Guide
Spellslinger decks are for players who want each instant and sorcery to advance the board, refill the hand, or pressure life totals. This strategy wants to cast cheap spells across every turn cycle, using spellslinger commanders, magecraft payoffs, and copy effects, to win through accumulated damage, spell-made tokens, or card advantage. Unlike Storm, it does not need one huge chain turn, and unlike Combo it is not waiting for specific pieces to end the game at once. The best instants and sorceries decks reward steady sequencing and careful use of interaction.

Tokens Strategy Guide
Token decks are for players who want one card to become many bodies and then decide whether those bodies attack, block, draw cards, or fuel another engine. This strategy wants to flood the battlefield with creatures, using token commanders, repeatable generators, and anthem effects, to win through a go wide attack or by converting the swarm into damage, drain, or mana. Tokens is different from Aristocrats because making bodies comes first, from Counters because it grows wide instead of tall, and from Voltron because it spreads pressure across many creatures. The best token decks EDH players build reward patience against sweepers and careful timing on the finishing turn.

Storm Strategy Guide
Storm decks are for players who want to sculpt a hand, pick one decisive turn, and chain cheap spells until the count becomes lethal. This strategy wants to cast many spells in one turn, using cantrips, rituals, cost reducers, and storm commanders, to win through Grapeshot, Tendrils of Agony, Aetherflux Reservoir, or another storm-count payoff. In the Spellslinger, Storm, Big Mana, and Combo cluster, Spellslinger grinds value from each instant or sorcery, Big Mana spends on fewer huge spells, Combo assembles fixed pieces, and Storm turns spell volume into the win. The best storm combo EDH decks reward careful sequencing because every card has to convert into mana, cards, count, or a protected finish.

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.
