Strategy
Elektra is a sneaky Villain assassin that turns evasion into targeted removal. Her core gameplan revolves around attacking with unblocked creatures, bouncing them back during blockers to cast her cheaply via sneak, then destroying small threats when she enters. She's essentially a repeatable, efficient creature removal engine that also threatens 3 damage per hit. You want a low-curve aggressive deck full of evasive creatures—ninjas, other villains, and unblockable threats—that naturally attack without meeting resistance, letting you trigger sneak on turn after turn.
To maximize her potential, fill your deck with creatures that don't care about returning to hand (ninjas with flash, etb effects, low-cost dudes) and enablers that make your creatures unblockable or hard to block. Equipment like evasion tools and artifact synergies smooth out the tempo, while repeatable creature destruction keeps the board clear for your swarm. Your win comes from a combination of commander damage, chip damage from evasive creatures, and eliminating blockers until you can deal fatal blows.

Budget Build
Skip expensive dual lands; use basics and budget fixers like Evolving Wilds. Substitute pricey evasion effects (like Coastal Piracy) with cheaper alternatives like Curiosity and Shadow-Kin.
