Alex Wilder, Runaway

Alex Wilder is a red aggro commander that rewards casting creatures from anywhere but your hand. Her main gameplan revolves around using the graveyard as a resource—casting creatures via escape, flashback, or reanimation effects to trigger her damage boost and haste ability. You'll stock your graveyard early with cheap creatures and card draw, then deploy them for burst turns where multiple creatures enter at once, each swinging as 3/2 hasty threats. The escape cost is also crucial: it lets Alex herself return as an evasive threat when you need a clock closer or a way to trigger her ability again.

Build around graveyard-synergy creatures and effects that fill your yard while advancing your game plan. Cards like Faithless Looting, Ledger Shredder, and creatures with flashback or escape enable consistent triggers. Equipment like Mjölnir or Iron Man Armor amplify your aggression, while Plan enchantments like Claim the Kingdom or Construct a Cosmic Cube give you incremental value alongside your creature beats. Win by attacking with a growing army of hasted creatures, often closing out games by turn 5–7 with a flurry of damage.
