Strategy
Black Panther, Claws of Bast is a sleek voltron commander that rewards you for attacking with a single creature. Each solo attack triggers his counter ability, letting you build up a dangerous beater while gaining life along the way. The core gameplan is to suit up your commander (or another creature) with equipment and evasion, send it in alone turn after turn, and watch the +1/+1 counters accumulate. You're playing a hybrid of aggro and midrange—some games you'll race damage quickly, others you'll grind opponents down with lifelink value and inevitably overwhelming board presence. Win by commander damage or combat, leveraging equipment synergies to protect your threats and ensure they connect unblocked.
