Sword Coast Sailor

Sword Coast Sailor turns your commander into a evasive threat that slips through defenses whenever the table's life totals are relatively balanced. This Background pairs perfectly with commanders that want to attack consistently—whether they're small and scrappy or large and threatening. You're essentially building an aggro or tempo deck that uses the Sailor's evasion clause to push damage through, keeping the table close in life total so your unblockable attacks keep flowing.

The deck wants low-cost creatures and combat tricks to apply early pressure, forcing opponents into defensive positions. Once your commander is attacking unblocked repeatedly, you're on a fast clock. This synergizes beautifully with any commander that has built-in evasion, card draw, or damage-scaling abilities—imagine a commander that grows whenever it deals combat damage or draws cards. You'll load up on cheap interaction and threats to maintain tempo, making this a straightforward aggressive shell that doesn't require complex combo lines.
