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.
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.
