Fynn, Fangbearer Commander Deck Guide

There are many ways to defeat an opponent Magic: The Gathering. The most common method is to run them hit points dry, then meld their entire libraries, but perhaps the most insidious path to victory involves one of the oldest counters in the game's decades-long history: poison.

Poison counters are especially effective in the Magic Commander format as it only takes 10 poison counters to take out a player, which is usually much easier than dealing 40 damage or 100 cards. Combining poison counters with deathtouch is a great strategy, making Fynn the Fangbearer a great commander for your next magical night.

Commander: Finn, Fangbearer
