“Unblockable horsemanship beatdown with blue evasion tech.”
Lu Meng, Wu General is a straightforward evasive threat that leverages horsemanship to attack your opponents consistently. Since horsemanship is nearly unblockable in most playgroups (very few creatures have it), you're essentially looking at a 4/4 that deals damage reliably every turn. The gameplan is to build around evasion synergies and ways to amplify Lu Meng's damage output—think pump spells, anthem effects, and cards that reward attacking. You're playing a tempo-focused midrange strategy where Lu Meng is your consistent threat and the rest of your deck protects and enhances him.
To maximize this deck, focus on blue's suite of evasion and control tools to protect your general while he attacks unimpeded. Include combat tricks that pump Lu Meng or grant additional keywords like double strike or trample. You can also lean into a draw-go shell where you're defending with counterspells and board wipes while building up to lethal damage. Aim to win through consistent commander damage rather than going all-in on combat tricks.
