Strategy

How this commander wants to play

Kotis is a sneaky commander that turns combat damage into card advantage and free spells. Your game plan is to suit up Kotis with evasion and power-boosting effects, then deal damage to opponents to exile their libraries—and cast their best cheap spells for free. Since Kotis is indestructible, you can lean into combat tricks and voltron-style equipment without fear of losing your commander. The deck wins by either beating down with an evasive, pumped Kotis or by generating so much value from exiling libraries that you bury opponents in tempo and card advantage.
