Legendary Creature — Sphinx
Flying If you would scry a number of cards, draw that many cards instead. Partner (You can have two commanders if both have partner.)
“Turn scry into card draw for value-based flying control.”
Eligeth turns scrying into card draw, which is a powerful effect in the right deck. Your game plan is to load your deck with cards that scry—especially cards that scry multiple times—and turn that selection into pure value and card advantage. Since Eligeth has partner, you'll pair her with another partner commander (like Silas Renn or Toothy, Imaginary Friends) to round out your strategy. You're essentially building a control or midrange deck that grinds opponents out with raw card advantage and flying threats.
The core strategy is simple: every scry effect becomes a draw. Cards like Surveyor's Scope, Braids's Cauldron, and permanents that scry each turn become card-draw engines. You'll also want to include cantrips and instant-speed tricks that scry, so you're digging through your deck while protecting yourself. Your win condition is combat damage from Eligeth (a 5/5 flyer is decent) combined with whatever synergies your partner commander brings. This is a grindy, value-focused deck that wins by outlasting opponents through superior resources.

Skip expensive scry payoffs like Jace, the Mind Sculptor; instead use budget cantrips like Preordain, Sleight of Hand, and Telling Time, which all scry for cheap.
