Commander's Conclave: 7 - EDH Gameplay - The Ur-Dragon, Chatterfang, Kennrith, Koma

The game started with a variety of aggressive and synergistic strategies developing quickly.

Kenrith, the Returned King led an aggressive, creature-heavy knights deck focused on building a resilient board with anthem effects like Knight Exemplar, while holding a potent late-game board wipe in Ruinous Ultimatum as a backup plan.

Koma, Cosmos Serpent aimed to overwhelm the board with snake tokens and leverage Doubling Season to create massive board presence, incorporating infect as an alternate win condition.

The Ur-Dragon deck sought to ramp quickly and cheat out powerful dragons early, with a goal of casting The Ur-Dragon by turn five or earlier using various ramp and cheat mechanisms.

Chatterfang, Squirrel General focused on generating a wide squirrel army, capitalizing on token synergies and aggressive swarm tactics to pressure opponents. Early turns saw strong mana acceleration and key creatures being played, such as Vivian, Champion of the Wilds enabling flash and card advantage, and Broodmate Dragon adding more board presence.

Kenrith's knights began stacking buffs and indestructibility effects, preparing for sustained combat.

Meanwhile, The Ur-Dragon player leveraged ramp spells and lands like The World Tree to cast high-impact dragons.

Koma’s strategy revolved around repeatedly copying its own coils to generate lethal snake tokens, while Chatterfang steadily built up a threatening squirrel horde. The gameplay featured a tense balance between board development and removal, with players wary of Ruinous Ultimatum looming from Kenrith’s side.

Combat phases involved careful target selection and blocking decisions, with players avoiding overcommitting into potential counters.

The game’s momentum shifted around key plays like casting Broodmate Dragon and Vivian’s ability to flash creatures, offering tactical flexibility.

Ultimately, the match was a showcase of diverse midrange to combo-leaning strategies contesting for board control and incremental advantage, setting the stage for explosive late-game turns.
