Needs more blue! Mishra vs Alrund vs Marneus vs Feldon #edh #cmdr game

Deck Strategies

• 

  Mishra, Eminent One

  Max's deck relies on the synergy between Mishra's ability to pull same-named artifacts from the deck and graveyard when one is cast, and artifacts that can sacrifice themselves for value. The deck aims to outvalue opponents with recursion and cheap casts.

• 

  Feldon, Ronom Excavator

  MJ's deck uses Feldon's ability to create copies of creatures in the graveyard, in conjunction with powerful creatures that have enter-the-battlefield effects or strong attacking abilities. The deck also includes protection for Feldon to ensure its strategy can be executed.

• 

  Marneus Calgar

  This deck seems to be a creature-based strategy, using Marneus to generate warrior tokens and draw cards. It includes elements of control and life gain.

• 

  Alrund, God of the Cosmos // Hakka, Whispering Raven

  Nick's deck revolves around Alrund's ability to draw cards equal to the number of a chosen card type revealed at end step. With a focus on instant and sorcery spells, the deck aims to outdraw opponents and control the board.

Summary

The game began with all players setting up their mana bases and casting their respective commanders. Max, playing Mishra, focused on a strategy of artifact recursion and casting cost reduction, using his commander to create copies of artifacts and generate value. MJ, playing Feldon, built a resilient board state using the commander's ability to create copies of creatures in the graveyard, while protecting Feldon with Darksteel Plate. The turning point in the game was when MJ managed to gain an impressive amount of life by looping Sensei's Divining Top for multiple Aetherflux Reservoir triggers. However, the game ended abruptly when Max, fearing an Aetherflux Reservoir death laser, activated Oblivion Stone to wipe the board.
