Commander players, the world is a dark place. The oppressive, savage likes of Atraxa, Praetors' Voice, Meren of Clan Nel Toth, Oloro, Ageless Ascetic and other vagrants threaten to expunge us. But, our benevolent leader, Big Brother, provides for us. He provides an aegis with which to protect us, and a sword to rail against those who would fool themselves into opposing us.

The Ministry of Peace:

Even as I orate the will of our leader, an unstoppable legion rallies to snuff our enemies from our world. We implement advanced new technologies like Mox Diamond, Unwinding Clock, Stasis and many others to give us the ultimate edge, locking our enemies resources while allowing ours to remain intact. Hokori, Dust Drinker further pushes our opponents to the brink in conjunction with other merciless weapons like Tsabo's Web and Cursed Totem. The path to victory remains in sight, as even now the other "mighty" decks quail at our strength.

The Ministry of Love:

To our great sadness, even our great society is fraught with spies and thought-criminals that would undermine our beloved Big Brother. But fear not, as every day, our government roots out these evils and forces them into confession of their horrible deeds. Helm of Obedience and Rest in Peace are sure to utterly force even the most adamant of challengers into submission. Jace, the Mind Sculptor will correct any rebellions your enemies are foolhardy enough to stir and Counterspell, Render Silent and Desertion will render your opposition's shoddy arguments moot in the face of Big Brother and the Party. Our top agents in the Though-Police will root out threats and send them reeling back (Venser, Shaper Savant).

The Ministry of Truth:

Any blasphemies against the Party are mere fabrications from your enemies. Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur will narrow the scope of your resistors thought and Mindslaver and Academy Ruins will force-feed any troubled dissenters the truth. Any who would think to touch you will be repelled by Propaganda. When the misguided get too out of hand, Supreme Verdict, Parallax Wave or Armageddon will put them in their place.

The Ministry of Plenty:

The Ministry of Plenty strives to maintain the intricacies of daily life. Weathered Wayfarer helps us properly distribute resources as the Party sees fit. The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale, Austere Command, Aven Mindcensor and Chain of Vapor ensure that all permanents are organized in the best interest of Big Brother. Transmute Artifact, Mystical Tutor, Enlightened Tutor and Fabricate will pull resources directly to you and Blue Sun's Zenith and Sphinx's Revelation will gather options in bulk.

The Proles:

The Proles, among which include Rishadan Cutpurse, Rishadan Footpad and Rishadan Brigand are mere animals. However, even animals serve a purpose. When operating our Strionic Resonator, our commander, Big Brother (Brago, King Eternal) brings out the best in them.

Remember, though humans may be fleeting, Big Brother and the Party are eternal and offer eternal glory and power for those under their protection. Remember, "War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength."

For outsiders eager to take up the cause of our glorious leader, the strategy goes as follows. Big Brother (Brago, King Eternal), bounces permanents like Spine of Ish Sah, Tangle Wire, Parallax Wave, Trial of Knowledge and Peregrine Drake out of there abilities. Cards like Rishadan Cutpurse can be combined with Strionic Resonator which will copy Big Brother's ability to destroy all of your enemies resources. Helm of Obedience and Rest in Peace will instantly remove an opponents entire deck and can be repeated with the amount of "untap" and "bounce" mechanics in this deck. Other cards are meant to generate advantage and control the board until the time is nigh for your victory.
