Deck & Commander Strategies
Kilo, Apogee Mind
Utilizes haste and proliferate triggers whenever Kilo becomes tapped to grow artifacts and quickly apply pressure, focusing on artifact synergies and rapid development.
Dyadrine, Synthesis Amalgam
Builds a board of artifact creatures and spacecraft tokens by removing plus one counters, drawing cards, and proliferating charge counters to enhance creatures and resources.
Ragost, Deft Gastronaut
Leverages the food artifact subtype and life gain to maintain board presence and resilience, with the ability to sacrifice foods for damage and untap itself repeatedly through life gain triggers.
Tannuk, Steadfast Second
Grants haste to creatures and focuses on casting artifact and red creature cards using the warp mechanic to repeatedly reuse threats and maintain tempo advantage.
Gameplay Insights
- 1
Proliferate interactions were central to multiple decks, enabling growth of counters on creatures and artifacts to increase board strength and card draw.
- 2
Warp allowed players to cast artifacts and creatures multiple times, creating tempo swings and forcing opponents to adapt to recurring threats.
- 3
Life gain synergized with Ragost’s ability to untap and reuse itself, providing both defense and potential offensive damage through food sacrifice.
- 4
Granting haste to the team via Tannuk enabled aggressive attacks and maximized value from warp-cast creatures.
- 5
Charge counters on planets and creatures created a layered resource system that players leveraged for both mana acceleration and proliferate synergy.

Gameplay Summary
The game unfolded with each player piloting a unique commander from the Edge of Eternities set, showcasing diverse strategies revolving around artifact synergies, proliferate mechanics, and new warp interactions.
Early turns featured the players establishing their board states with ramp and utility creatures, while also deploying key lands that support their respective strategies, such as charge counters and artifact interactions.
Kilo, Apogee Mind capitalized on haste and proliferate triggers to grow artifacts and apply pressure, while Dyadrine, Synthesis Amalgam focused on creating artifact tokens by removing counters and drawing cards, synergizing with spacecraft themes and proliferate effects.
Ragost, Deft Gastronaut leveraged the food artifact subtype and life gain to maintain a resilient board presence, with the potential to deal damage through sacrifice effects.
Tannuk, Steadfast Second emphasized haste for the team and the innovative warp mechanic to cast artifacts and creatures multiple times, enabling tempo swings and surprise plays. Key turning points included the deployment of powerful artifact creatures and the use of proliferate to multiply counters, enhancing board strength and card advantage.
The interaction between proliferate and charge counters on planets and creatures created a dynamic resource engine, while warp allowed for flexible casting and reuse of permanents, complicating opponent responses.
Players had to carefully time their attacks and removal spells, mindful of haste and the untap triggers generated by life gain.
The game showcased how synergy between new mechanics like warp, proliferate, and the food artifact type can create layered strategies that evolve over the course of the game.
Ultimately, the game revolved around maximizing these synergies to outpace opponents through incremental advantage and board control.
