Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Firkraag, Cunning Instigator

  This deck revolves around goading opponents' creatures to induce chaos and manipulate combat.

• 

  Korvold, Fae-Cursed King

  Korvold's deck is built around sacrificing permanents to draw cards and put counters on Korvold, generating value and increasing the threat level of the commander.

• 

  Roon of the Hidden Realm

  This deck aims to maximize value from enter-the-battlefield effects, using Roon's flickering ability to reuse these effects.

• 

  Saruman, the White Hand

  Saruman's strategy involves casting big spells to generate a massive Orc army and overwhelm the opposition.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  The early game curse placed by Firkraag's player on Korvold's player set up a dynamic where both players were incentivized to attack each other, potentially altering the usual flow of combat.

• 2

  Saruman's player clearing the board with a powerful AoE spell was a pivotal moment that reset the board state, requiring players to rebuild their presence.

• 3

  Korvold's player managing to generate value through Korvold's sacrifice mechanic, despite being under pressure, was a key demonstration of the deck's resilience and potential power.
