Deck & Commander Strategies

Doctor Doom, Unrivaled
A combo-centric deck that aims to win by milling its own library to zero and then activating Doctor Doom's ability to win the game. It uses fast mana, powerful tutors, and recursion with cards like Underworld Breach to assemble the combo quickly and protect it with counterspells and equipment.

Derevi, Empyrial Tactician
A control and stax-oriented deck that leverages Derevi’s ability to tap and untap permanents for tempo advantage and to lock down opponents. The deck plays creatures and mana accelerants to apply consistent pressure and disrupt opponents.

Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh / Silas Renn, Seeker Adept
A midrange or artifact-focused deck that uses aggressive creatures and artifact synergies to control the board and generate value. It aims to pressure opponents early and maintain board presence through efficient creatures and spells.

Wan Shi Tong, Librarian
A control and value-oriented deck that uses Wan Shi Tong’s ability to draw cards and generate card advantage. It typically plays a toolbox of answers and counters, focusing on controlling the game state until it can win through incremental advantage.

Glarb, Calamity's Augur
A graveyard and sacrifice synergy deck that exploits Glarb's abilities to generate value and control the board. It aims to disrupt opponents’ plans by sacrificing creatures and recurring threats to gain incremental advantage.

Doctor Doom quickly set up his board with fast mana artifacts like Grim Monolith and protective equipment such as Swiftfoot Boots, enabling him to draw cards and lose life to utilize his commander’s powerful ability.
Doom’s strategy revolved around assembling a combo win condition involving his commander, which wins the game if his library is empty when activated.
Meanwhile, opposing players developed their boards with creatures and ramp, attempting to disrupt Doom's plans with counterspells and removal. A key turning point occurred when Doom cast Underworld Breach, a pivotal card for his combo, but it was countered and then recast, illustrating the intense interaction and counterplay among the players.
