Strategy

How this commander wants to play

Raul, Trouble Shooter is a self-mill commander with a twist—you get to cast spells from your graveyard if they were milled this turn. The core gameplan is to mill yourself consistently (and your opponents incidentally) while using Raul's tap ability and other mill effects to fill your graveyard with playable cards. You're essentially turning your graveyard into a second hand, casting threats and interaction that would normally cost you cards. Win by either grinding out value with cheap spells, assembling a combo from your graveyard, or swinging in with threats you've cast for free.

This deck loves cards that trigger off milling and reward an active graveyard. Cheap mill payoffs, card draw, and creatures with utility keep the engine running smoothly. You're not trying to mill opponents out; instead, you're fueling your own spell arsenal and building a value engine that generates incremental advantage every turn.
