Strategy
Dragonlord Silumgar is a control-focused commander that steals your opponents' best permanents and uses them against them. When Silumgar enters the battlefield, you immediately take control of target creature or planeswalker, turning their threats into your assets. From there, you combine that theft effect with evasion (flying) and removal (deathtouch), making Silumgar hard to block and dangerous in combat.
The deck thrives on reusing the enter-the-battlefield theft effect through blink mechanics, bounce effects, and sacrifice outlets. Cards that flicker Silumgar or return it to your hand let you steal multiple threats per game, while effects like Control Magic and Control board wipe effects keep the opposition off-balance. Your path to victory is tempo-based: steal their threats, attack with a flying dragon that's nearly unkillable in combat, and watch opponents struggle to rebuild while you're piloting their best creatures.
