Strategy

Ah, the deck centered around Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca in Commander format! This deck focuses on the Merfolk tribe and aims to swarm the board with Merfolk creatures, tapping them for various effects and ultimately overwhelming your opponents with a flood of aquatic creatures. The strategy of this deck revolves around generating card advantage and tempo through Kumena's abilities. By tapping and untapping your Merfolk creatures, you can draw cards, put +1/+1 counters on them, and make them unblockable. Cards like Merrow Reejerey, Deeproot Elite, and Merfolk Mistbinder help you generate more Merfolk and pump them up, while cards like Seafloor Oracle and Lullmage Mentor provide card draw to keep your hand full. One of the strengths of this deck is its ability to quickly build a wide board presence and apply pressure to opponents. Kumena's ability to tap Merfolk for various effects can help you draw cards and grow your board state rapidly. Additionally, the Merfolk tribe has synergies that can make your creatures difficult to deal with, such as hexproof from Kopala, Warden of Waves and unblockable from Herald of Secret Streams. However, one potential weakness of this deck is its vulnerability to board wipes and targeted removal. Since the deck relies on having multiple Merfolk creatures on the battlefield to maximize its synergies, losing key pieces to removal spells can set you back significantly. It's important to protect your key creatures with cards like Kopala, Warden of Waves and have ways to recover from board wipes with cards like Beast Within. Overall, the Kumena Merfolk deck offers a fun and synergistic tribal strategy that can be both competitive and enjoyable to pilot. With the right mix of ramp, card draw, and protection, you can create a formidable force of aquatic creatures that will make your opponents think twice before crossing the waters of Orazca!
