Ramp decks are for players who want to spend the early game accelerating so later turns happen ahead of schedule. This strategy wants to build more mana than the table, using mana ramp EDH staples, extra land drops, dorks, and rocks, to win through earlier threats, large spells, or a resource lead opponents must answer. Ramp is different from Landfall because acceleration is the point, and different from Big Mana because it is the engine rather than the payoff. The best ramp commanders reward extra mana sources while still giving you something meaningful to cast.
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.
