How this commander wants to play

Rem Karolus is a tiny tyrant that turns the table on damage-based strategies while amplifying your own burn. Her passive makes you nearly immune to opponent removal and damage while supercharging your own spells—that extra damage ping adds up fast across a table of three opponents. You're playing a tempo-focused aggro deck that deploys cheap threats early, protects them with Rem's damage prevention, and closes out games with efficiently costed burn spells that deal way more than printed.

The deck wants to leverage card advantage through cycling, looting, and light card draw to maintain threats while your burn spells scale with her damage amplification. You'll often attack with flying evasion while your Red-White spellslinger strategy punishes opponents for trying to race you. Aim to resolve Rem quickly and follow up with creatures that synergize with spells (like prowess creatures) and direct damage that turns Rem into a pseudo-Furnace of Rath for your team.
