Strategy
Lord Xander, the Collector is a devastating mill-and-disruption commander that punishes opponents from multiple angles. Every time he enters, attacks, or dies, he forces opponents to discard, mill, or sacrifice roughly half of their resources. Your gameplan is straightforward: cast Xander, swing in with him, and watch opponents crumble under the pressure of losing their hand, library, and board presence simultaneously.
This deck leans into evasion and protection to keep Xander alive and attacking. You want cards that give him flying, make him hard to block, or let him deal combat damage consistently. Blink effects and reanimation spells also shine here—each time Xander enters the battlefield, you trigger that discard effect again, multiplying your value. Fill the rest of the deck with efficient ramp and interaction to stabilize while you set up the kill.

Budget Build
Replace expensive blink creatures like Soulherder with budget-friendly options like Ephemerate and Cloudshift; use signets over mana rocks like Mox to ramp cheaply.
