Deck & Commander Strategies
Tannuk, Steadfast Second
An aggressive mono-red deck that uses haste and warp mechanics to deploy creatures quickly, aiming to overwhelm opponents with fast threats and maintain tempo.
Haliya, Guided by Light
A life gain and token generation deck that leverages soul sisters-style effects to gain life whenever creatures enter the battlefield, stabilizing the board and drawing cards.
Ragost, Deft Gastronaut
A red-white artifact-food synergy deck that creates and sacrifices food tokens to deal damage to opponents, controlling the game through incremental burn and token creation.
Sami, Wildcat Captain
An artifact affinity deck that discounts spells with affinity for artifacts to cast threats efficiently, aiming to swarm the board and apply early pressure.

Gameplay Summary
The game featured four players piloting distinct commanders with unique strategies, leading to a dynamic and interactive board state.
Ragost, Deft Gastronaut focused on leveraging artifact-food synergies to repeatedly deal damage to opponents by sacrificing food tokens, establishing a slow but steady pressure.
Haliya, Guided by Light played a life gain and token synergy deck, accumulating incremental life and value through soul sisters-like effects and generating tokens to stabilize.
Sami, Wildcat Captain aimed to exploit artifact affinity, discounting spells and rapidly deploying threats to overwhelm opponents.
Tannuk, Steadfast Second utilized haste and warp mechanics to deploy threats quickly, applying early aggression and tempo to the game. Early plays involved setting up mana bases and deploying utility creatures and equipment such as Lightning Greaves and weapon-related artifacts.
Ragost’s strategy became apparent as he assembled artifacts that doubled as food tokens, triggering damage and token creation effects.
Haliya’s life gain engine kept her health high and allowed her to draw cards, while Sami aggressively pressed damage with discounted creatures and weapons.
Tannuk contributed by granting haste and playing creatures that could warp in quickly, maintaining pressure.
Key moments included removal of problematic creatures like the Charismatic Conquistador, careful management of artifact tokens, and the interplay of combat decisions that shifted board control.
The game revolved around balancing aggression with board presence, artifact synergies, and incremental life gain until one player eventually capitalized on these elements to secure victory.
