Strategy
Laurine is a sneaky tempo commander that turns your creatures and artifacts into political tools. Her main game plan is sacrificing your own permanents to goad opponents' threats into attacking each other instead of you, buying time while you develop your board. With partner enabling you to pair with Kamber, the Plunderer, you get access to blue for even more control and theft effects. You win by controlling the table long enough to land a lethal threat—whether that's a big creature, repeated sacrifice loops, or even commander damage once opponents have worn each other down.
The deck rewards you for playing expendable creatures and cheap artifacts, turning them into disruption. Cards that create tokens or ETB effects become pseudo-removal when you sacrifice them to goad blockers away. This defensive play pattern lets you stabilize against aggressive decks while your threats slip through safely. Think of Laurine as a political lightning rod: you're not just playing cards, you're orchestrating the entire table's combat step.
