Strategy
Worzel is a planeswalker-focused engine commander that turns your loyalty abilities into repeatable value. The 1/1 Cat tokens are the star—they tap to pump loyalty counters on all your planeswalkers, letting you fire off ultimate abilities much faster than normal. You'll build around a suite of useful planeswalkers (Elspeth, Teferi, Aminatou, etc.) and use Worzel's -1 ability to tutor out both planeswalkers and Plains lands when you need them. The deck accelerates into a mid-game state where your planeswalkers are constantly ultimating or using powerful minus abilities, backed by growing Cat tokens for defense and utility.
Your win condition is typically ultimate ability value—generating card advantage, board wipes, or token armies through planeswalker abilities. Worzel's -8 can close out games by itself, creating ten flying tokens for a lethal attack. The gameplan is tempo-oriented but grindy: you want to survive early turns, establish a Cat token or two, and then leverage planeswalker loyalty engines to lock down the table or assemble an army.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive walkers like Liliana of the Veil; budget picks like Teferi, Hero of Dominaria (cheaper versions), Elspeth, Sun's Nemesis, and Aminatou, the Fateshifter offer solid loyalty abilities. Ramp with cheap rocks like Cultivate and Kodama's Reach instead of Mana Crypt.
