Strategy
Sun Ce, Young Conqueror is a evasive beatdown commander with a built-in bounce effect that punishes opponents for playing creatures. Your game plan is straightforward: swing over blockers using horsemanship while disrupting the board by bouncing threatening creatures back to hand. The bounce ETB trigger lets you control the pace of the game, setting back opponents' mana development or disrupting their combos.
Build around creature-light control strategies and evasive threats. Include other horsemanship creatures to maximize your unblockability, plus blue's suite of tempo tools like counterspells and card draw to maintain pressure while you chip away with commander damage. You can lean into a Voltron-lite approach with equipment that pumps Sun Ce or grants additional evasion, or go full tempo with creatures that have built-in evasion and low casting costs. The bounce effect scales well against creature-heavy metas, making Sun Ce an excellent meta call in battlecruiser tables.
