Strategy

How this commander wants to play

Carth the Lion is your ticket to a planeswalker-focused midrange deck that grinds value every turn. His ability to tutor planeswalkers into your hand whenever he enters or one of your walkers dies creates a consistent engine for finding the right tool for the job. Since you're running multiple planeswalkers, you'll naturally trigger Carth's effect repeatedly—each dead walker searches for the next one, keeping your board full of loyalty abilities.

The deck wants to play midgame planeswalkers that protect themselves and generate value: think Liliana of the Veil, Vraska the Unseen, and Teferi, Time Raveler. Sacrifice outlets and creature tokens help feed Carth's trigger while also protecting your walkers from removal. You'll win through a combination of planeswalker ultimates, token swarms, and incremental damage as your walkers control the board and slowly chip away at opponents.

Same gameplan, less money

Skip expensive walkers like Liliana, Dreadhorde General and use budget alternatives like Liliana, Untouched by Death or Garruk Wildspeaker; Stitcher's Supplier and Altar's Reap are cheap sac outlets.
