How Ellie decks play in EDH
Ellie, Brick Master is a mono-red commander costing 1R, and its legendary creature - human survivor 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. The card rewards attacking, so the deck is built to keep creatures pointed at opponents rather than sitting back. The cards below are the ones Ellie, Brick Master decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
