Character Background
Rory Williams reads like a midrange/value piece with a tempo twist: a 3/3 first strike lifelink for WU is already excellent combat math, but the Last Centurion clause turns him into a delayed threat that also nets a Clue when cast, so the best plan is a tempo-value shell that stabilizes early and then converts inevitability into card advantage. In Commander he pairs naturally with Amy Pond (Partner), making a blue-white toolkit deck that wins races while accruing clues and recurring answers. Deckbuilding tips: lean on artifact engines and sacrifice outlets—Emry, Lurker of the Loch can reuse Clues and Ashnod’s/Altar-style outlets turn them into repeatable value or fuel combo lines—and include early blockers or tempo spells to survive the suspend window. Rory rewards decks that can manipulate or cheat suspend (ways to cast from exile or reduce counters) and that capitalize on artifact recursion; think slow-burn tempo that converts a delayed combat threat into long-term card advantage.
