Strategy
Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it. The list holds 12 ramp pieces, 9 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 2.87.
Early: Use the early turns on mana and on the commander itself. Sword of the Animist and the other 11 ramp pieces are there to power what comes after Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar, not to cast it - at 2 mana it should be on the table almost immediately.
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. Chaos Warp is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Thor, Guardian of Midgard keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Dagger Caster 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 2.87 average mana value the top end is middling, which means most turns hold two spells.
Win conditions: Wins through the commander and the strongest threats the colours offer, backed by real interaction.
