Deck & Commander Strategies
Inspirit, Flagship Vessel
Focuses on artifact synergies, proliferating counters on creatures and artifacts, and leveraging space-themed 'ship' mechanics to generate tokens and enhance board presence.
Hearthhull, the Worldseed
Utilizes landfall mechanics and graveyard interactions, sacrificing lands to trigger pings and creature growth, aiming for incremental value and board control through land-based triggers.
Szarel, Genesis Shepherd
Centers on spacecraft and synergy with counters, likely focusing on growing creatures and leveraging graveyard or token generation to overwhelm opponents.
Kilo, Apogee Mind
Emphasizes proliferating counters, tapping for incremental value, and recurring permanents by sacrificing lands, combining haste with counter growth to pressure opponents quickly.
Gameplay Insights

Gameplay Summary
The game started with players developing their mana bases and early board presence, with a focus on lands and creatures that supported their respective strategies.
Early plays included mana ramp creatures like Spring Bloom Druid and artifact synergy pieces such as Athereum Sculptor and Steel Overseer, which helped reduce casting costs and strengthen artifact creatures.
Proliferation was a recurring theme, with multiple players leveraging it to grow counters on creatures and artifacts, accelerating their board development. As the game progressed, players began to capitalize on their commanders' unique abilities.
Kilo, Apogee Mind brought haste and recurring permanents from the graveyard by sacrificing lands, while Hearthhull, the Worldseed synergized with landfall and graveyard interactions, enabling land sacrifices for incremental advantage and creature growth.
The presence of artifact lands and multiple proliferate triggers from cards like Experimental Orrey and Surge Conductor allowed for quick growth of counters across the battlefield.
Key turning points included deploying planeswalkers, proliferating counters to trigger powerful effects, and establishing a strong board presence with tokens and enhanced creatures.
The game remained dynamic and interactive, with players trading damage and responding to threats while building toward their win conditions centered around counters, land synergies, and artifact advantages.
