How this commander wants to play

Sentinel Sarah Lyons is a go-wide aggro commander that rewards you for playing artifacts and attacking with multiple creatures. Your core gameplan is simple: ramp into artifacts early, swing with a wide board, and trigger her battalion ability to fling damage at opponents. The beauty is that artifacts act double duty—they boost all your creatures while also fueling her direct damage outlet. You're not trying to be fancy; you're trying to turn sideways and end the game quickly with commander damage and token swarms backing up the senator. The deck thrives on synergy between cheap artifact tokens (think Talismans and Signets early, then Servo tokens and Treasures mid-game) and efficient Red-White creatures that come down early and hit hard.

Budget Build

Same gameplan, less money

Skip pricey fetch lands and play basic lands plus budget dual lands like Clifftop Retreat; replace expensive artifact ramp with Talisman of Conviction and Boros Signet instead of Moxes.
