How Rufus Shinra decks play in EDH
Rufus Shinra is a Orzhov commander in white and black costing 1WB, and its legendary creature - human noble 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 Rufus Shinra decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
