Strategy

How this commander wants to play

Tadeas, Juniper Ascendant wants you to build a flying-and-reach-focused deck that turns combat into a card-draw engine. Your creatures with reach keep attacking every turn while Tadeas's hexproof keeps him safe from targeted removal when he's not swinging. The key is stacking reach creatures that hit hard or trigger multiple times—each combat damage trigger nets you a card, turning your flying army into a relentless draw machine that also pressures opponents.

Your win condition is straightforward: attack with your reach squad, draw extra cards, and translate that card advantage into more threats or tricks. Untapping your reach creatures means they tap for abilities, swing again, or simply stay back while still defending and drawing. The deck plays as a midrange engine that rewards careful attack sequencing and selection of good reach creatures like Gravity Well effects, flying blockers, and creatures that synergize with untapping.
