Strategy

How this commander wants to play

Masumaro, First to Live turns your hand size into raw power, making it a simple but effective Voltron strategy. The goal is to keep your hand full while attacking for commander damage. You'll lean into card draw and hand-replenishing effects—green's strength—so Masumaro grows bigger each turn while you're also digging toward your best spells.

The deck plays like a midrange engine: ramp into draw spells, hold up mana, and protect your commander as it scales. Cards that draw multiple times (Elemental Bond, Tireless Provisioner) or refill your hand (Momentous Summons, Collective Unconscious) are MVP material. You'll also run typical green finishers like Eldrazi and big threats that synergize with your ramp package. The beauty is Masumaro itself isn't fragile—it gets bigger the more you hold, encouraging a full grip even during blocking phases.
