Strategy

The Xyris, the Writhing Storm Commander deck is a powerful and fun deck based around creating lots of Snake creatures with Xyris's ability. The strategy of the deck is to play cards that draw you cards, allowing you to create more Snakes with Xyris and overwhelm your opponents with tokens. Some of the key cards in the deck include Purphoros, God of the Forge and Impact Tremors, which deal damage to your opponents whenever you create a token. This can help you chip away at their life totals and close out the game quickly. The deck also includes some strong ramp spells like Cultivate and Kodama's Reach to help you get ahead on mana and cast your powerful cards quicker. Counterspell and Cyclonic Rift provide you with some interaction to protect your board and disrupt your opponents' strategies. One of the weaknesses of the deck is that it can be vulnerable to board wipes, as losing your tokens can set you back significantly. However, cards like Teferi's Puzzle Box can help you refill your hand quickly and rebuild after a wipe. Overall, the Xyris deck is a fast-paced and explosive deck that can be a lot of fun to pilot. With the right mix of draw spells, token generators, and interaction, you can overwhelm your opponents and come out on top in multiplayer games.
