Global ramp, card draw and free tokens for everyone! Help your opponents to set up a nice board state.

Then make them fight each other. Reward and force combat. Kill them after they weakened eachother.

Alternatively you can put Kaervek the Merciless, Kardur, Doomscourge or Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant into the command zone, without having to change the decks general strategy. Sometimes I just randomly choose one of those as my commander before a the game starts.

When Kaervek the Merciless is on the field, let your opponents choose what to target with Kaervek.

Enjoy.
