Deck & Commander Strategies
Yuna, Hope of Spira
Focuses on enchantments to generate value and incremental advantage, aiming to control the board with enchantment synergy and eventually win through overwhelming board presence or combo with powerful enchantments.
Gisa, the Hellraiser
A Zombie Crime theme deck that builds up a board of zombies and uses incremental damage and milling effects along with small cost spells to chip away at opponents’ life totals and board states.
Narci, Fable Singer
A saga-centric deck that aims to cast as many sagas as possible to gain life and drain opponents through saga triggers, slowly grinding out advantage over the course of the game.
Cid, Timeless Artificer
An artifact-focused deck that relies on playing multiple artificers to pump other artifacts and generate value through drawing, looting, and efficient artifact deployment to overwhelm opponents with big creatures and synergy.

Gameplay Summary
The game began with players establishing their board states carefully, focusing on ramping mana and setting up synergies specific to their commanders.
Early plays involved artifact ramp with cards like Soul Ring and Razorverge Thicket, enabling faster deployment of key threats.
One pivotal moment was the deployment of Palanteer of Orthon, which synergized well with the Zombie Crime theme and started applying incremental pressure through milling and damage.
Players engaged in card draw exchanges, notably with Love Song of Night and Day and Ball of the First Civilization, which helped maintain hand size and options. As the game progressed, the artifact-heavy deck led by Cid, Timeless Artificer began to assemble a critical mass of artificers, increasing the power of the board and enabling key looting and card filtering effects.
Meanwhile, the enchantment-focused Yuna deck started to build momentum with enchantress effects drawing cards and generating incremental advantage.
The Zombie Crime deck utilized small creatures and synergistic spells to chip away at opponents while building its board.
The game showcased interaction between card draw engines, artifact synergies, and incremental damage through milling and combat, with each player trying to maximize their commander’s strengths.
The early game set the stage for a mid-to-late game where board presence and card advantage would determine the winner.
