Strategy Guides
Mill Strategy Guide
Mill decks are for players who want to pressure a different resource: the cards left in each library. This strategy wants to put cards from libraries into graveyards, using repeatable mill commanders, doublers, and self-mill engines, to win by emptying opponents' decks or by converting stocked graveyards into value. Unlike Reanimator, Mill is not mainly trying to cheat one creature into play, and unlike Graveyard value it treats milling as the weapon or fuel source rather than the recursion engine itself. The best mill decks EDH players build respect the multiplayer math by multiplying output, protecting engines, or turning every milled card into another resource.

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.

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.

Equipment Strategy Guide
Equipment decks are for players who want the gear itself to be the engine, turning ordinary creatures into credible attackers. This strategy wants to assemble weapons, tutors, and equip-cost shortcuts, using equipment commanders that find or attach gear, to win through upgraded combat, commander damage, or a team carrying shared tools. Unlike Voltron, Equipment does not have to put every card on one creature, and unlike Artifacts it focuses on weapons rather than every artifact type. The best equipment decks EDH players build recover well after creature sweepers because the gear usually stays on the battlefield.
