Harness the Power of Enter-the-Battlefield Effects and Token Replication for Unparalleled Dominance
Greetings, fellow innovators.
I am Satya, the Aetherflux Genius, and I’m excited to share with you an evolved strategy that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible on the battlefield. By mastering the art of blinking and cloning, we can generate overwhelming value, disrupt our opponents, and secure victory with precision.
As the architect of this strategy, my abilities as a commander are uniquely suited to maximize the potential of blink and clone mechanics.
-
Attack Trigger Cloning: Whenever I attack, I create a tapped and attacking token that’s a copy of up to one other nontoken creature you control. This allows us to replicate powerful creatures and their enter-the-battlefield (ETB) abilities, amplifying our impact each combat.
-
Energy Generation: Each attack grants us two energy counters ({E}{E}), which can be used to sustain our replicated tokens or fuel other energy-based effects in our arsenal.
-
Menace and Haste: With menace, I’m harder to block, ensuring my attack triggers activate consistently. Haste allows me to influence the game immediately upon entering the battlefield.
These abilities synergize perfectly with our strategy, making me the ideal commander to helm this deck.
Our approach revolves around two key mechanics:
-
Blinking: Temporarily exiling our creatures and returning them to the battlefield to retrigger their ETB abilities.
-
Cloning: Creating token copies of our creatures to duplicate their functions and amplify our board presence.
By leveraging these mechanics, we can:
- Generate continuous value from ETB effects.
- Deal direct damage to opponents without relying solely on combat.
- Control the board through repeated disruption of enemy resources.
- Assemble infinite combos that can secure victory on the spot.
-
ETB Damage Package: Utilize cards like Agate Instigator, Molten Gatekeeper, Impact Tremors, and Warleader’s Call to deal damage to opponents whenever a creature enters the battlefield under our control.
-
Token Generation: Maximize creature entries with token generators like Echoing Assault, Blade of Selves, and Legion Loyalty to trigger our ETB damage effects multiple times.
-
Blink Effects: Use blink spells and abilities to re-enter creatures, further triggering our ETB damage sources.
-
Removal on ETB: Employ creatures like Skyclave Apparition, Loran of the Third Path, and Amphin Mutineer to remove threats upon entering the battlefield.
-
Repeatable Disruption: Blink these creatures with effects like Displacer Kitten, Brago, King Eternal, and Ghostly Flicker to continuously control the board.
-
Tempo Advantage: Cards like Venser, Shaper Savant and Reflector Mage can bounce problematic permanents or spells, slowing down opponents.
-

Damage on Entry: Both creatures deal damage to opponents when creatures enter the battlefield under our control, forming the core of our ETB damage strategy.
-
Synergy with Tokens: The more creatures we can bring into play, the more damage these cards can inflict.
- Value Multiplier: Doubles the triggers of our artifacts and creatures’ ETB abilities, greatly enhancing the effectiveness of our strategy.
- Token Amplification: Generate additional attacking token copies of our creatures, triggering ETB effects and dealing massive damage when combined with our ETB damage sources.
-
Stabilize Early: Utilize low-cost blockers like Wall of Omens and Spirited Companion to absorb early attacks.
-
Life Gain: Cards like Inspiring Overseer and Cloudblazer help recover life and maintain a healthy life total.
-
Board Wipes and Control: Use Eerie Interlude to protect our creatures from opponent’s board wipes while setting up our own mid-game dominance.
-
Resilient Threats: Recur key pieces with Sun Titan and Karmic Guide to outlast removal.
-
Countermagic: Include spells like Counterspell and An Offer You Can’t Refuse to protect our key plays.
-
Card Advantage: Draw cards with Spellseeker, Archaeomancer, and creatures with ETB draw effects to maintain pressure.
-
Disruption: Use ETB abilities of Venser, Shaper Savant and Reflector Mage to disrupt opponents’ combo pieces.
-
Speed: Assemble our own combos quickly using tutors like Imperial Recruiter and Recruiter of the Guard.
