Strategy Guides
Lifegain Strategy Guide
Lifegain decks are for players who want each point of life to become a resource, not just a larger cushion against attacks. This strategy wants to gain life in steady repeatable triggers, using lifegain commanders, Soul Warden effects, and payoff cards, to win through life drain, oversized creatures, or a charged Aetherflux Reservoir. Unlike Group Hug, it keeps the resources for itself, and unlike Aristocrats it is driven by life gained rather than death triggers. The best lifegain decks EDH players build feel patient early, then convert a safe life total into pressure.
Stax Strategy Guide
Stax decks are for players who want to win by deciding which resources matter before opponents can use them. This strategy wants to tax mana, cards, combat, and casting windows, using stax commanders and resource denial EDH pieces like Winter Orb and Smokestack, to win through a board state where your deck still functions and opponents cannot rebuild. Unlike Control, which answers threats after they appear, Stax locks the costs and rules of the game so many threats never get cast. The best stax commanders break parity, then convert the slowed table into combat damage, attrition, or a compact combo.
