Strategy
Breena, the Demagogue leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, putting +1/+1 counters on things and growing them out of range. The list holds 12 ramp pieces, 9 pieces of targeted interaction, 3 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 3.11.
Early: Use the early turns on mana. Knight of the White Orchid and the rest of the 12 ramp pieces are what let the deck cast Breena, the Demagogue 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. Swords to Plowshares is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Dusk Legion Duelist keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Promise of Loyalty for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 3 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 3.11 average mana value the top end is middling, which means most turns hold two spells.
Win conditions: Wins by growing a threat past what the table can answer and connecting with it.
