How The Capitoline Triad decks play in EDH
The Capitoline Triad is a colourless commander costing 10, and its legendary creature - god artificer line shapes the whole deck around it. It works out of the graveyard, so self-mill and cheap recursion effectively become extra card advantage. Artifacts drive the deck, so cheap mana rocks and artifact recursion do double duty. The cards below are the ones The Capitoline Triad decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
