Strategy
Lieutenant Commander Data is a counter-accumulation engine that rewards you for playing noncreature spells—every instant and sorcery you cast grows Data bigger while also fueling card draw. The core idea is to lean into a spellslinger strategy that loads up on cantrips, artifact tutors, and interaction, letting Data become a respectable threat that also generates steady value. You're essentially playing a tempo-control shell where Data does double duty: he's both your win condition (eventual commander damage) and your card advantage engine, turning every spell you cast into incremental progress.
