Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Commander Damage - Draw - Win\n\nAs a Doctor Who fan, I was surprised that this relatively minor and unremarkable side character was included in the Blast from thr Past Doctor Who precon. I wrote him off, but I was wrong. This Commander strikes hard and can end games really quick for your opponents. \n\nFirstly, this deck is affordable. The bulk of the cards comes from the Virtue and Valor precon from the recent Wilds of Eldraine set which isn't too pricey. We're using the enchantress green-white archetype to buff and protect our Commander long enough to kill everyone via Commander Damage.\n\nThe Commander gimmick is that every time you deal combat damage to an opponent, you and that opponent draw that many cards. Since you have both trample and haste, this makes fulfilling that condition trivial. Make sure you have a Reliquary Tower or Thought Vessel in play early because you get to draw a lot. You can remove defending players creatures using \"fight\" spells. You can buff up with spells like Giant Growth right before damage is dealt for maximum impact. Protection and land drops are key to survive and to recast your Commander if it's removed, but with the amount of card draw you can reach with this Commander, you'll never run out of options!\n"}]}
