Strategy Guides
Reanimator Strategy Guide
Reanimator decks are for players who want to turn the graveyard into a shortcut for creatures that should cost far more mana. This strategy wants to load its own graveyard with high-impact targets, using discard, self-mill, and Entomb-style tutors, to win by casting cheap reanimation spells that cheat creatures into play ahead of schedule. Unlike Graveyard value decks, Reanimator is less about recurring small resources every turn, and unlike Mill it is not trying to empty libraries as the primary weapon. The best reanimator commanders and graveyard commanders help discard threats, return them, or convert each reanimated creature into immediate pressure.
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.
Graveyard Strategy Guide
Graveyard decks are for players who want every discarded, milled, or destroyed card to remain part of the game plan. This strategy wants to stock the graveyard, using self-mill, discard outlets, sacrifice, and dredge-style cards, to win by recurring threats, lands, and value pieces until opponents run out of clean answers. Unlike Reanimator, graveyard value decks EDH players build are not centered on one huge creature arriving early, and unlike Mill they use self-mill as fuel rather than treating libraries as the main target. The best graveyard commanders turn the graveyard into a steady resource engine that can rebuild after removal.
Sacrifice Strategy Guide
Sacrifice decks are for players who want their own permanents to be flexible resources rather than pieces to protect at all costs. This strategy wants to feed creatures, artifacts, and tokens into a sacrifice outlet, using fodder makers, recursion, and sacrifice commanders, to win through mana loops, edicts, drain payoffs, or a steady resource lead. Unlike Aristocrats, it is broader than death trigger drain, and unlike Tokens it values bodies mainly as expendable fuel. The best sacrifice commanders keep the engine moving even when opponents point removal at your board.
