Strategy

The "Yisan, the Wanderer Bard" Commander deck is a green-based toolbox deck focused on using Yisan's ability to tutor up creatures at different points in the game. The deck's strategy revolves around ramping up your mana with mana dorks like Llanowar Elves and Priest of Titania, and using Yisan's ability to fetch creatures such as Eternal Witness for recursion, Quirion Ranger for untapping Yisan, and Temur Sabertooth for protection and versatility. One of the deck's strengths is its consistency in searching for specific answers or threats with Yisan's tutor ability. It can adapt to different board states and opponents' strategies. Cards like Reclamation Sage and Phyrexian Revoker provide targeted removal against problematic artifacts and creatures, while Seedborn Muse can give you multiple activations of Yisan in a single turn. On the downside, the deck can be vulnerable to disruption targeting Yisan or its key pieces. Additionally, it can be weak to board wipes that remove your mana dorks and slow down your ramp. It might struggle against fast combo decks that can win before the deck's toolbox engine can get going. Overall, the "Yisan, the Wanderer Bard" Commander deck offers a fun and interactive playstyle that rewards strategic decision-making and adaptability.
