Who Do I Attack? The Commander Skill New Players Get Wrong Every Game

"Who do I attack?" is the question that decides more Commander games than any card in your deck, and most new players answer it wrong every game. This lesson walks through one turn-six table, four seats, and the three things to read instead of life totals: mana, cards in hand, and engines versus bodies. Then it shows what happens when the whole table figures it out (the archenemy effect), how to avoid becoming the threat yourself, how to read open mana and crack-backs, and finishes with a four-question checklist you can run in ten seconds every turn. Cards shown: Rhystic Study, Smothering Tithe, The Great Henge, Skullclamp, Craterhoof Behemoth, Cyclonic Rift, Swords to Plowshares, Beast Within, Blasphemous Act. Commanders at the table: Aurelia, the Warleader (you), Kenrith, the Returned King, Krenko, Mob Boss, Ghalta, Primal Hunger. 0:00 Intro 1:01 Life Is Not The Threat 2:15 Reading A Board 4:23 Engines Over Bodies 6:13 The Archenemy 7:38 Tempo And Politics 9:00 The Checklist New to Commander?
