  Ashnod the Uncaring

  Sacrifice artifacts and creatures to copy them, gaining incremental value and disrupting opponents while building a strong artifact board state.

Summary

The game showcased a dynamic artifact-centric battle featuring four commanders from the Brothers' War preconstructed decks. Early turns were marked by explosive ramp plays, with multiple players deploying mana acceleration such as Soul Ring, Arcane Signet, and Wayfarer's Bauble to quickly establish a strong board presence. Urza, Chief Artificer, leveraged artifact synergy heavily, casting several artifact creatures and boosting them with Steel Overseer and Azorius Dig Site Engineer tokens, applying steady pressure. Mishra, Eminent One focused on generating additional value through Mishra's Warform and artifact ETB effects, aiming for card advantage and board control. Ashnod the Uncaring used artifact sacrifice and copying effects to gain incremental value and disrupt opponents, while Tawnos, Solemn Survivor specialized in creating and multiplying token copies for overwhelming board states. Key turning points included tactical plays like sacrificing Terramorphic Expanse at end of turn to maintain mana flow, casting Cursed Mirror as a copy of Solemn Simulacrum for land ramp, and strategic boosts from artifact synergy creatures. The game progressed with growing artifact armies, incremental damage from boosted constructs, and players setting up combo potential. The match was a showcase of the power and synergy possible in these new Brothers' War decks, culminating in a double kill that highlighted the effectiveness of artifact-focused aggression and token multiplication strategies.
