Strategy
Emil is a landfall-focused commander that rewards you for playing diverse lands while building a board of growing Fractal tokens. Your core gameplan is to ramp into a wide variety of basic and utility lands, then use Emil's activated ability to create increasingly large tokens that immediately get trample from Emil's static ability. This turns your mana acceleration directly into board presence—the more unique lands you've played, the bigger your tokens become. You win by swinging in with an army of trampling Fractals, often backed by +1/+1 counter synergies that amplify Emil's tokens even further.
