Strategy
Rasaad is a tempo-focused commander that locks down one of your opponent's creatures while building toward a tempo or control-oriented game plan. The specialize mechanic lets you pay {5} to give Rasaad evasion or protection, turning him into a repeatable threat that's harder to answer. Your goal is to keep opponents' key threats exiled, swing in with Rasaad safely, and eventually close out the game through commander damage or a wider board presence backed by creature removal and control effects.
You'll want to lean into white's suite of small efficient creatures, board wipes, and removal spells to control the game while Rasaad does the heavy lifting on exiling threats. Cards that protect Rasaad or give him evasion are premium includes—boots, blessing effects, and unblockability effects all enable his damage. The specialize cost is steep, so early game you're more of a control deck, but once you untap with Rasaad a few times, you can pump him and become a genuine threat.
