The Commander
Flying
Alliance — Whenever another creature you control enters, The Neutrinos get +1/+0 until end of turn.
Whenever The Neutrinos attack, exile up to one target creature you own, then return it to the battlefield under your control tapped and attacking.
Guide
Gameplan
Curve out small creatures to trigger Alliance and beat down through the air with The Neutrinos, then weaponize its attack trigger to blink a high-value creature each combat—reusing ETB effects while adding a free, tapped-and-attacking body. You win through repeatable value engines and a wide go-wide/aggro board that snowballs every turn another creature enters.
Strengths
- Repeatable blink on attack reuses powerful ETB creatures every combat for value and tempo
- Alliance rewards token strategies and chains of small creatures, turning the commander into a real evasive clock
- Naturally aggressive in colors that historically lack card advantage, giving RW a built-in engine
- The attack trigger sneaks in extra attackers, enabling alpha strikes and combat-step ambushes
Weaknesses
- The attack trigger only works on creatures you own, not stolen permanents, limiting reach
- RW lacks ramp and card draw, so a slow opener can stall out
- Relies on connecting in combat and on the commander surviving—vulnerable to removal and board wipes
- Without ETB targets the trigger is wasted, so the deck must keep value creatures online
Key Cards
- Cloudblazer — Blinking it each attack refills your hand, solving RW's card-advantage problem.
- Solitude — A repeatable Swords to Plowshares on a stick every time The Neutrinos attacks.
- Restoration Angel — Flash blocker and another evasive body that loves being flickered alongside the commander.
- Sun Titan — Recurs your best cheap permanents every combat, compounding value as it attacks.
- Anointed Procession — Doubles your token output, accelerating Alliance triggers and the go-wide plan.
- Skullclamp — Premier card engine that turns spent or small tokens into a steady stream of cards.
Upgrade Path
Add fast mana (Sol Ring, Smothering Tithe) and efficient blink targets like Solitude, Recruiter of the Guard, and Magus of the Wheel to convert each attack into card and tempo advantage. Tighten the curve toward cheap, impactful ETBs and token producers (Young Pyromancer, Hangarback Walker) so Alliance always triggers, and protect your commander with Swiftfoot Boots and Teferi's Protection. For a combo finish, lean on Aristocrats payoffs (Blood Artist, Bastion of Remembrance) plus reliable sacrifice outlets.
