Strategy
Ellie, Brick Master is a sneaky political engine that rewards the table for attacking each other while you sit back and build resources. Every time someone swings at an opponent, you're generating a free 1/1 Zombie token—meaning the more combat happens around the table, the faster your army grows. This is perfect for a group-slug or token-focused strategy where you're happy to let others duke it out while you accrue value and a growing board presence.
Your gameplan is to enable and encourage combat between opponents (maybe with cards that give them extra combat phases or force attacks), then convert all those free Fungus Zombies into threats. You can pivot to sacrifice outlets to drain the table, pump your tokens, or just swing in for lethal once the board is locked down. Since Ellie has Partner—Survivors, you can pair her with another Partner commander to add more colors and flexibility, turning the deck into a two-headed powerhouse.
