Tau Choke

Tau Eldar

An attempt to spread Kith's choke archetype to the ranks of the Tau

Basic idea is to match Kith's Choke decks as closely as possible. Whilst Tau lack access to Razorwings, Pact and more recently Archon's Palace, they do excel at the Command struggle. They can be stronger than DE, and arguably everyone else, at this. You go for all the Card planets trying to completely cut off enemy card supply. It also means you generate serious draw to get to your various Unit + Attachment power combos, and your lovely shield cards.

Shadowsun's ability means you gain an economic advantage if you manage to shrink the game. Whilst it's more dependent on the rest of the board state than Kith's Khymera, optimally Shadowsun's ability is a 2R 1C advantage.

Because of the objective of maximising Command I had to leave out Even the Odds in favour of Superiority, even though it's an epic card. I also couldn't quite find a way to squeeze in a 2nd Fire Warrior Elite or any Stingwings.
