Introduction

Hello, welcome to my Mayael the Anima deck. Mayael is my first and my main commander, I play her since 2013. It's a funny, a bit random, deck for a casual meta ! Perfect if you like big creatures with some unique effect.

The goal of the deck is a classical battlecruiser ("control" the board until you can attack with few big creatures), but I added a big pillowfort package. The strategy is to find some big fatties who will block your opponents to attack you or do what they want, protect your board, and attack few times with big creatures. So some of the creatures inclusions can be really meta dependant depending on which kind of opponents you want to block.

The deck design can be a bit different from others Mayael decklist (but not that much). I focused a lot more on cheating creatures (or others permanents) from the top of the library and keeping them on the board. That's why some Mayael staples are not there like Elvish Piper, Quicksilver Amulet etc...

The deck can be easily divided in two parts : the first is the creatures with power > 5 you will cheat with Mayael (or other cards), the second part is the engines helping to filter the library or to cheat more cards. Of course, there is also a ramp package, a removal package. But no draw package.

A little note: English isn't my first language, so I apologize for any grammar or spelling mistakes in this text. You can correct me if you want. :)
