Strategy

The "Kess, Dissident Mage" deck in Commander format is centered around using Kess's ability to cast instant and sorcery spells from your graveyard. This allows for powerful and flexible plays, as you can effectively cast spells twice. The strategy of the deck is to control the game with a mix of removal spells, card draw, and counterspells, while setting up powerful combo finishes or overwhelming your opponents with card advantage. Some good points of the deck include the ability to reuse powerful spells with Kess, creating a strong late-game advantage. The deck also has access to a wide range of versatile and efficient spells, allowing you to adapt to different situations. However, some potential weaknesses of the deck include vulnerability to graveyard hate or exile effects that can disrupt Kess's ability to cast spells from the graveyard. The deck may also struggle against aggressive strategies that can apply early pressure and disrupt your game plan. Overall, the "Kess, Dissident Mage" deck is a powerful and versatile deck that can be both fun to play and challenging to master in Commander games. It offers a mix of control, card advantage, and combo potential, making it a popular choice among players looking for a dynamic and interactive playstyle.
