Strategy
Slicer, Hired Muscle is a double-faced commander that rewards you for attacking and forcing opponents into combat. In front mode, you're a hasty first striker that goads opponents' creatures each turn, making their board work against them while you chip in damage. The backside Vehicle form lets you convert damage into card advantage or switch up your game plan when needed. Your core gameplan is to be a fast, aggressive threat that disrupts the table's combat math—opponents either have to block your Slicer, attack each other with goaded creatures, or take damage from both angles.
The deck leans into aggressive red strategies with plenty of evasion, anthem effects, and ways to ensure your commander connects. You're looking to win through commander damage or general combat pressure, turning the goad mechanic into tempo advantage. The living metal keyword means you care about Vehicles and artifact synergies, but this is really a tempo-aggro shell where Slicer is your focal point.
