Strategy

How this commander wants to play

Michelangelo is a go-wide aggressor that rewards you for attacking by growing your team and generating Food tokens. The Raid ability triggers during your second main phase, so you're incentivized to attack early and often, then use that window to pump a creature and create a resource for later. You'll want a deck full of cheap creatures and token generators that benefit from +1/+1 counters, turning each combat phase into steady board growth. Combined with a Food-loving Partner like Gishath or other aggressive commanders, you're building towards a critical mass of creatures that either swarm for damage or sacrifice into value engines. The deck wins by overwhelming opponents with a growing, resilient army that's hard to race and generates incidental life and utility along the way.
