Each opponent can't cast noncreature spells with mana value greater than the number of lands that player controls.

Whenever an opponent casts a spell, if no mana was spent to cast it, counter that spell.

Lavinia is a stax/tempo commander who locks opponents out of free spells and big noncreature haymakers while you build an efficient board and grind value. You deploy early disruption, keep land counts low for opponents via taxes and denial, and close with creatures or a controlling lock. Turn to turn you're trading resources unfairly, punishing greedy mana bases and free-cast cheavy decks.

Free, body-as-commander hatebear that hard-counters cascade, free spells, and ritual-fueled cheats

Caps opponents' big noncreature plays based on their land count, neutralizing many bombs and board wipes

Cheap two-drop that pressures and disrupts simultaneously

Excellent in metas full of cEDH staples like Force of Will, Dockside, and cascade

Doesn't stop creature spells or activated/triggered abilities at all

Easily removed two-drop that opponents will prioritize killing

Symmetrical-ish strategy can leave you mana-light if you over-commit to stax

UW lacks fast ramp and big closing power without dedicated wincons

Grand Abolisher

Protects your stax pieces and stops opponents interacting on your turn, reinforcing the lock.

Smothering Tithe

Generates mana to fuel your taxes and counterspells while punishing opponents.

Drannith Magistrate

Stacks with Lavinia to lock opponents out of casting from anywhere but hand, crippling commander-reliant decks.

A one-sided blowout that closes games once you've stabilized behind Lavinia's lock.

Teferi, Time Raveler

Forces sorcery-speed casting and bounces threats, layering with Lavinia's restrictions.

Lean into fast mana (Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, Mox Diamond) and stack more taxing pieces like Thalia, Heretic Cathar and Archon of Emeria to make your lock airtight. Add a tight wincon such as Thassa's Oracle plus Demonic Consultation or an infinite combo so you don't durdle, and protect it with Grand Abolisher, Teferi, and free interaction like Mana Tithe and Swords to Plowshares. Tighten the curve and add card advantage engines (Esper Sentinel, Rhystic Study) to keep pace in cEDH pods.
