Strategy

How this commander wants to play

Klaw, Master of Sound is a sneaky exile-matters engine that turns combat damage into card advantage while staying protected. Every time Klaw hits an opponent, you peek at their library and exile a card face-down—then play it for free using mana of any color. This turns your commander into a repeatable tutor mixed with a mana-accelerant, letting you cast stolen spells and build a resource advantage that scales with each swing. The deck wants to be evasive and resilient: Klaw's deathtouch makes blocking awkward for opponents, and you gain indestructibility whenever you cast an exiled card, making removal difficult to stick.

Your gameplan revolves around attacking consistently while maximizing the value of cards you exile. Use cheap evasion, card draw, and protective effects to keep Klaw swinging and your hand stocked with options. Win by grinding opponents down through commander damage, superior resources from exile plays, and occasionally explosive turns when you hit powerful spells from enemy libraries. The deck naturally encourages a tempo-midrange approach: you're not trying to kill fast, but you're applying steady pressure while building insurmountable card advantage.
