Strategy
Chief Montgomery Scott is a lands-matter commander that turns your diverse mana base into a ramp and token engine. The core plan is simple: play as many different lands as possible, then use Scotty's activated ability to cheat creatures and Spacecraft directly onto the battlefield with bonus counters based on your land count. This creates a snowball effect where each land you play makes your threats bigger and scarier. The deck wins through combat damage, swinging with overloaded creatures and Spacecraft that quickly become massive threats—especially when combined with support cards that reward multiple land types.
