Strategy
Don & Leo, Problem Solvers is a flicker engine commander that turns your board into repeatable value. Each turn, you get to exile and return up to two permanents—an artifact and a creature—which triggers enter-the-battlefield effects twice over. This is perfect for creatures with strong ETB abilities (like Mulldrifter, Soulherder targets, or Charming Scoundrels) and artifacts that do something when they come back (Solemn Simulacrum, Altar of the Brood). You're essentially getting free value loops every turn while your commander provides a solid 4/6 body with vigilance.
The deck wins through incremental advantage and board presence. You'll mill opponents, draw cards, generate tokens, or ramp into bigger plays depending on what creatures and artifacts you pack. Since you're flickering permanents on your end step, there's no mana commitment—it all happens for free. The strategy is grindy but explosive once set up: by turn 7–8, you'll have locked in so much value that opponents can't catch up. Pair this with sac outlets and sacrifice synergies to further leverage the exit/entry cycle.
