Strategy
Miara is a sneaky card draw engine that rewards you for doing what Elf decks naturally do—sacrifice creatures for value. Every time an Elf dies, you get the option to pay a single mana and a life point to draw a card, turning your expendable tokens and creatures into a steady stream of resources. This pairs incredibly well with sacrifice outlets and tokens, letting you cycle through your deck while building a board presence. The partner mechanic means you can team her up with another commander like Tevesh Szat or Drana, Liberator of Malakir to amplify the synergy even further.
