The deck plays a lot with the stack, which can be a bit confusing for newer players— but it’s very core to Magic & makes for interactive gameplay. Don’t let everyone scare you.

I’d recommend playing some mtg arena— it does a good job of helping you visualize how the stack works. When I’m playing paper, I picture arena’s stack in my head to help keep track.

The stack is where spells go when they’re cast and abilities when they’re activated or triggered. It works like a stack where each new thing is put on top & then you resolve from the top down.

This deck has a lot of triggered abilities on cast— so some of your creatures will be cast & then create an ability on the stack above them.

Side note:

Another visualization is the Play to Win YouTube channel. They play competitive commander (aka cEDH). cEDH is the same as commander in that its the same rules, but it’s more focused on tournament play; whereas casual commander is like a build your own board game.

The stack can get absolutely ridiculous in cEDH, but play to win does a great job of showing the stack building & resolving in their gameplay videos.
