cEDH Gameplay | Animar vs Muldrotha vs Klothys vs Sakashima // Kodama | E7 | Magic the Gathering

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Animar, Soul of Elements

  Build a board full of creatures to reduce Animar's counters, enabling free and repeated creature casts. Use combo pieces like Cloudstone Curio and Ancestral Statue to generate infinite triggers and win.

• 

  Muldrotha, the Gravetide

  Control the board and generate card advantage by recurring permanents from the graveyard each turn, setting up a Thrasios-like combo finish.

• 

  Klothys, God of Destiny

  Disrupt opponents by destroying lands and use Kiki-Jiki to combo off for an infinite damage or value combo.

• 

  Sakashima of a Thousand Faces

  Use stax elements and utility lands with Kodama of the East Tree to generate incremental advantage and set up a land-based combo win involving infinite food tokens and mana.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Sakashima's player used the interaction between Trade Routes and Gingerbread Cabin to generate infinite food tokens, creating a unique resource engine though not infinite mana at that moment.

• 2

  Muldrotha's player prioritized graveyard recursion and controlled the board with spells like Cast Down and Intuition to dig for combo pieces.

• 3

  Animar's deck attempted to assemble the combo with Cloudstone Curio and Ancestral Statue but faced disruption and careful counterplay, including bounces and counters from opponents.

• 4

  The group displayed a tendency to avoid early aggression, focusing instead on ramp, setup, and disruption to prevent sudden combo wins.

• 5

  A key turning point was the countering of what would have been a devastating Dockside Extortionist play, preventing an immediate infinite treasure combo and maintaining balance among players.
