Strategy: This deck revolves around the powerful and deadly ability of Heartless Hidetsugu to deal damage to each player equal to half their life total, rounded down. The goal is to use Hidetsugu's ability to whittle down your opponents' life totals as quickly as possible, while also utilizing spells and abilities that allow you to survive and control the board state.

Ramp: The deck needs to ramp up to Hidetsugu's 5 CMC quickly, so include a variety of ramp spells such as Sol Ring, Fire Diamond, and Wayfarer's Bauble. This will help you get your commander out as soon as possible.

Burn Spells: To maximize Hidetsugu's ability, the deck should include a variety of burn spells that deal damage to each player equally. These can include cards like Pyrohemia, Breath of Darigaaz, and Pestilence. With Hidetsugu on the battlefield, each activation of these spells will deal massive damage to your opponents.

Lifegain: As you're also dealing damage to yourself with Hidetsugu's ability, including lifegain spells and abilities is crucial to your survival. Consider cards like Whip of Erebos, Gray Merchant of Asphodel, and Crypt Ghast, which not only gain you life but also provide additional value.

Control: With such a dangerous ability, the deck should also include spells and abilities to control the board state and protect yourself from your opponents. Cards like Anger of the Gods, Lightning Greaves, and Swiftfoot Boots will help you clear the board of small creatures and keep Hidetsugu safe.

Win Conditions: Once your opponents' life totals are low enough, you can finish them off with spells that deal damage directly to them, such as Fireball or Banefire. Alternatively, you can win by creating a situation where your opponents have less life than you, and activating Hidetsugu's ability to take them out.

Overall, this Heartless Hidetsugu Commander deck is all about dealing massive damage quickly and efficiently, while controlling the board and surviving long enough to take down your opponents. With careful planning and execution, you can turn this deadly ability into a winning strategy.
