Strategy
Narset, Enlightened Master is a tempo-focused commander that turns combat into a pseudo-draw engine. Every attack exiles four cards from your library, letting you cast noncreature spells for free—and since Narset has hexproof and first strike, she's efficient at connecting. Your deck should be loaded with cheap, high-impact noncreature spells: board wipes, card draw, extra combat steps, protective counterspells, and mana rocks. The idea is to churn through your library, generate value, and stay ahead on mana and resources while Narset beats down.
Wins come through a mix of commander damage (3 power adds up fast with extra attacks) and sheer tempo advantage. Cards like Expédition Map, Lightning Bolt, Counterspell, and extra-turn effects synergize beautifully—you'll cast them free off Narset triggers while developing your board. The deck peaks in the midgame when you've accelerated into a few attacks and control the table, though it can close games quickly once you land a few turns of free spellcasting.
