Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines

Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines is a powerful engine commander that turns your enter-the-battlefield triggers into double triggers while simultaneously shutting down your opponents' passive triggers. Your game plan revolves around playing permanents that create value when they enter—creatures, artifacts, and enchantments—and watching them generate twice the effect. This turns modest cards into overwhelming value generators and lets you refuel faster than any table mate can keep up.

The deck wins through a combination of card advantage and board presence. You'll ramp early, play enter-the-battlefield creatures and artifact creatures, and accumulate resources until you're producing so much value that opponents can't answer your threats. Blink effects like Soulherder and Ephemerate multiply Elesh Norn's effect even further, turning a single creature into a cascade of triggers. Your opponents' enter-the-battlefield abilities and passive triggers don't work, which naturally weakens their strategies while you're growing stronger.
