How this commander wants to play

Edric turns evasive creatures into card-drawing engines. Your game plan is to fill the deck with cheap, hard-to-block creatures—think flyers, unblockable dudes, and creatures with evasion—then send them over to attack different opponents. Every hit triggers Edric, and suddenly you're drawing cards while dealing damage. This naturally pushes you into a tempo-focused strategy where you're ahead on cards and can outpace opponents' answers.

The deck wants to play early and often. You're not looking for a single creature to win the game; instead, you're building a swarm that overwhelms through volume and velocity. Cards that multiply your evasion triggers—like creatures with flying, shadow, or effects that make them unblockable—are premium. You win by going wide with your army while being obscenely ahead on cards, then closing out with damage or a surprise combo finish.

Budget Build

Same gameplan, less money

Skip the dual lands and mana bases; use basic forests and islands with budget alternatives like Evolving Wilds and Commune with Dinosaurs to fix mana. Replace Berserk with cheaper combat tricks like Ranger's Guile.
