---

This is my idea on how to build Ayara, First of Locthwain an Elf Noble who bleeds her opponents dry with her onslaught of creatures who pop tokens when they enter the battlefield. She is a fun commander to run, and I've had really great success with her, she has many ways to win outside of just pinging though. So lets dive into the build, and I'll show you ways to dominate your opponents.

Bow to your Highness

The Queen Always Wins

The win-cons in Ayara are plenty, the most simple one is Plague of Vermin just make sure you have more life than anyone else and you're then pick a number larger than your opponents life total. Now the other simple way to win is Torment of Hailfire with mana doublers your want to spend as much mana as you can so they have no choice but to take the damage.

Other ways to win will require building the combos such as Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle + any creature that can make a token will create an infinite combo with your commander on the field will drain the board. Priest of Gix instead will give you infinite mana that can cast your commander and again drain the board.

And lastly the oldie but goody Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + any zombie creature will also give the same effect as the above combo, effectively draining the board.

The Gifts of the People

Make sure you always have gas with cards such as Necropotence Sign in Blood and Night's Whisper will make sure your hand is full at all times, and if you don't have the card you want Diabolic Intent will find it for you.
