Sultai is normally strongest with graveyard interaction and reanimation / recursion strategies, but Kadena is so good its honestly worth passing up on those upsides. The commander is cheap, a draw outlet, and makes half your deck basically free. Thats good enough already to make the best 2019 precon.

HOWEVER, This commander was not meant to be played with cards that: 1. Let you play at flash speed
2. Let you untap on your opponent's turns 3. Let you bounce your morphs to hand

Doing these things let you operate at instant speed on each of your opponents turns EVERY turn with a variety of answers, out value the opponent with your commander and similar effects, and return everything to hand to do it again. Win conditions for the deck can be as follows:

The Pickles Lock: Using Brine Elemental and Vesuvan Shapeshifter lets you stop your opponents from untapping each turn. Derivative, but can be done at instant speed and and is pretty failsafe if timed well

Stall and Grind: This deck grinds incredibly well. Most morphs when turned up are at least a one for one answer with either a removal spell, counterspell, bounce effect, or value generator. The fact that they replace themselves and can be turned over to use the effect again makes it very hard to outpace the deck straight up. Let other players get further ahead and establish dominant board positions to draw the target off of yourself, answer important threats, and sit back while everyone else kills each other before swooping in and cleaning up

Big Swing: Resolving a large enough Torment of Hailfire can close out games very easily, and casting Triumph of the Hordes with a large enough board can effortlessly take out 1 player, and possibly the table if you have Thunderfoot Baloth or Forsaken Monument. Great surprise factor
