Lord Magnus

Lord Magnus is a unique hostel-style commander that punishes evasion-heavy strategies while offering a solid body with first strike. Your core gameplan revolves around building a Selesnya (Green-White) deck that can operate as a fair midrange strategy while leveraging Magnus's ability to shut down decks relying on plainswalk and forestwalk. Since those abilities are relatively niche in Commander, Magnus won't single-handedly lock down most tables—instead, focus on him as a solid 4/3 with first strike that punishes the few decks running landwalk creatures, letting you freely use aggressive strategies alongside your commander.

This deck shines brightest as a combat-focused midrange build with strong token and +1/+1 counter synergies. Load up on utility creatures, anthem effects, and mana dorks to curve out smoothly and create a steady stream of threats. Magnus himself is reasonable to attack with thanks to first strike, making him a viable backup win condition when paired with pump spells or even a Voltron shell of equipment. The deck plays naturally and rewards smart sequencing over complex combos.
