We Ranked the New Secrets of Strixhaven Commander Decks

Notable reprints: Faerie Mastermind, Harmonic Prodigy, Goldspan Dragon

A Red/Blue spellslinger deck? How original! Sarcasm aside, Prismari Artistry offers a flimsy tweak connected the taxable of throwing arsenic galore spells per crook by turning your biggest spells into heavy-hitting Elemental token creatures.

Sadly, it’s conscionable not arsenic imaginative arsenic others connected this list, but determination are immoderate cards present I’m tempted to bargain the platform for. If the Commander, Rootha, is taken out, though, it’ll conflict to get going.

4. Quandrix Unlimited

Notable reprints: Ozolith, the Shattered Spire, Benevolent Hydra, Primordial Hydra, Three Visits

I emotion this deck. Maybe it’s due to the fact that my prerelease container was Green/Blue, truthful I’ve travel to emotion that pairing for this set, but this platform is an atrocious batch of amusive to play due to the fact that its Commander, Zimone, Infinite Analyst, is an fantabulous engine.

Zimone powers up erstwhile you formed a spell with X successful the mana value, and past reduces the outgo of X spells aboriginal by the fig of counters connected her. That makes her perchance precise scary, conscionable fractional a twelve turns successful — and determination are 27 ‘X’ spells successful the deck!

3. Lorehold Spirit

Notable reprints: Emeria, the Sky Ruin, Bitterthorn, Nissa’s Animus, Moonshaker Cavalry, Drumbellower, Currency Converter

It says thing that connected different day, the apical 3 decks connected this database could beryllium placed successful different order, but Lorehold Spirit takes up 3rd spot here. It’s helmed by a Planeswalker, Quintorius, History Chaser.

This Red/White platform is each astir making Spirit tokens by getting cards retired of your graveyard, and it’s truly palmy successful doing so. The reprints are besides very, precise welcome.

2. Witherbloom Pestilence

Notable reprints: Ohran Frostfang, Nether Traitor, Toxic Deluge

This Green/Black platform leans connected token creatures that you tin past sacrifice to powerfulness up different creatures. It’s thing revolutionary, but the information that determination are 39 creatures to sacrifice astatine immoderate time, positive a truly coagulated mana base, mean this is simply a chopped supra the bulk of token-focused decks.

Out of the box, Witherbloom Pestilence is very, precise cohesive - but doesn’t bushed the apical prime of our list.

1. Silverquill Influence

Notable reprints: Land Tax, Inkshield, Breena, the Demagogue

Silverquill Influence is simply a truly amusive platform that leans into a goading taxable that we don’t spot successful Black/White each that often. You’ll get players scrapping against each different erstwhile you play and Enchantment, and you’ll person a ton of those to play with.

The thought is to usage Auras and Enchantments to get your foes warring anyone but you, portion inactive having immoderate coagulated creatures to onslaught oregon support erstwhile you request to.

There's a bully crushed wherefore it's retired of banal everyplace but notable resale sites similar TCGplayer. Market terms for this platform is already moving up to $85+, truthful I'd drawback it up accelerated if you spot it astatine MSRP anytime soon.
