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.

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.

Blink Strategy Guide

Blink decks are for players who want every creature to matter more than once. This strategy wants to exile and return creatures with enter-the-battlefield effects, using blink commanders, flicker spells, and repeatable engines, to win through compounding value, protected threats, or trigger loops. Unlike Control, Blink handles the game through reusable creature triggers instead of mostly counterspells, and unlike Tokens it may make bodies incidentally rather than going wide first. The best blink commanders make modest creatures convert into cards, removal, ramp, and rebuilt boards over several turns.
