How Cult of Skaro decks play in EDH
Cult of Skaro is a Grixis commander in blue, black and red costing 1UBR, and its legendary artifact creature - dalek line shapes the whole deck around it. It makes tokens, so the deck wants ways to pump a wide board and to turn spare bodies into cards or damage. It cares about +1/+1 counters, so counter-doubling effects and creatures that grow on their own carry the deck. The cards below are the ones Cult of Skaro decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
