Strategy

Kambal, Profiteering Mayor leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, making creature tokens and turning a wide board into damage. The list holds 12 ramp pieces, 9 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 12 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 3.08.

Early: Use the early turns on mana. Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff and the rest of the 12 ramp pieces are what let the deck cast Kambal, Profiteering Mayor on curve and keep casting after it.

Mid: Once the commander is down, the deck wants to be doing two things at once: advancing its own board and answering everyone else's. Bovine Intervention is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Bennie Bracks, Zoologist keeps the hand full while you do it.

Late: Hold Farewell for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 2 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 3.08 average mana value the top end is middling, which means most turns hold two spells.

Win conditions: Wins by going wide and attacking, or by draining the table with token payoffs.

  • Marching Duodrone - Core to the plan
  • Mirkwood Bats - Core to the plan
  • Bovine Intervention - Interaction
  • Hunted Horror - Core to the plan
  • Bennie Bracks, Zoologist - Card draw
  • Thalisse, Reverent Medium - Core to the plan
  • Generous Gift - Interaction
  • Angelic Ascension - Interaction
