"Silverquill Statement" is the first precon I bought, and Breena, the Demagogue the third commander I built in paper. Although perhaps considered the weakest of the Strixhaven precon commanders, Breena caught my eye because of her unique ability. Firstly, she functions as a card draw engine, an important trait for any commander I play to have since it will help keep me in the game and eventually out-value my opponents. Secondly, she encourages opponents to leave her on the board and fight amongst themselves in order to benefit off her card draw. This second trait makes it surprising I ended up playing Breena, because I personally hate most if not all symmetrical effects, especially when it comes to card draw. However, I feel that Breena ultimately leans towards benefitting you the most; her ability will always buff your creatures, and the card draw symmetry will help keep attention off you to allow you to advance your plans and politick a bit better at the table (though after a couple of years of playing her, I've found that people eventually become more inclined to offing her, since her counters can get out of control fairly quickly). Additionally, you'll usually be able to draw two cards, while everyone else will mostly draw 1 card off her unless they happen to be the opponent with the lowest life.

I decided to make the main strategy of the deck token spam with a side of +1/+1 counters to make the tokens more threatening and capable of finishing off opponents. After playing the deck more and finally getting around to updating it on here, I discarded (lmao) the discard subtheme idea and instead went for a reanimation and "does X when it dies" strategy. Cards like Moorland Rescuer, Gurgling Anointer, and Bloodtracker pair very well with Breena's ability, and they help a lot in not getting completely screwed over in the event of a board wipe.
