Commander rules allow you to start with 40 life, which is already a huge boost, and there are more than enough ways to gain life, even infinite life
The best part is that nearly every commander in this set opens a distinct playstyle, letting you build aggressively, go wide, combo out, or grind value depending on who leads your deck
Sythiss passive ability to gain life and draw cards for each enchantment you cast in addition to its low casting cost make it an effective way to start building up a fort and passively generate advantage while you do it
To introduce the Set Booster to you, I'm going to walk you through the booster one slot at a time just as you would experience it as you open it
If you do, each opponent loses one life and you gain a life equal to the total life lost this way
