Shanna, Purifying Blade is an interesting build-around/synergy commander that converts lifegain into card advantage. Some builds I've seen opt for the voltron strategy, where they equip Shanna with powerful auras and equipments and go for a commander damage kill. These builds are fun, but I think there are much better commanders suited for that route. In this deck we'll use Shanna passively as a card draw engine and try to protect her so that she can make it to the end step to refill our hand.
