Deck Strategies
Preston Garvey, Minuteman
Focuses on creating and enchanting settlements to untap permanents during combat, enabling multiple attacks and mana generation. Utilizes token creation and sacrifice mechanics to fuel aggressive board presence and enable value plays.
Shaun, Father of Synths
Leverages proliferate mechanics and token generation to incrementally damage opponents and gain life. Uses copy effects and synergistic artifact creatures to maintain pressure and board control.
The Master, Transcendent
Centers around artifact and enchantment synergies combined with the Monarch mechanic to clone permanents, generate tokens, and control the board through repeated value and incremental advantage.
Liberty Prime, Recharged
Employs artifact creatures and mana rocks to accelerate mana and establish a resilient board presence, using combat damage triggers and token generation to sustain pressure.
Gameplay Insights
- 1
Preston Garvey’s use of settlements to untap enchanted lands and permanents allowed multiple attacks per turn, significantly increasing his board impact.
- 2
Shaun's proliferate triggers on artifact creatures and enchantments enabled gradual life drain and token generation, maintaining steady pressure.
- 3
The Master’s strategy to become Monarch early and clone key artifacts or enchantments with Castle Vantress multiplied his board presence and value generation.
- 4
Liberty Prime’s artifact ramp and combat damage triggered token creation synergized well with sacrifice outlets, enabling explosive mana turns.
- 5
The combination of token generation and sacrifice for mana, especially with Grenzo, Havoc Razer and junk tokens, created powerful resource loops for Preston Garvey.
- 6
Use of cards like Dramatic Reversal to untap mana rocks and other permanents enabled players to maximize mana efficiency and cast multiple spells in a turn.
- 7
Players balanced aggressive combat and incremental advantage mechanics, focusing on out-valuing opponents rather than all-in combos.

Summary
The game features four players piloting thematic Fallout-inspired commanders, each leveraging unique synergies rooted in their colors and abilities. Early turns focus on ramping mana and establishing board presence through land enchantments, token generators, and efficient creatures. Preston Garvey capitalizes on settlements that untap enchanted permanents to generate continuous value and multiple combat phases, while Shaun, Father of Synths, utilizes proliferate effects and token creation to steadily chip away at opponents’ life totals. The Master employs artifact and enchantment synergy with the Monarch mechanic, creating token copies and controlling the board, and Liberty Prime uses artifact creatures and mana rocks to maintain pressure and resilience. Key turning points include Preston Garvey’s aggressive use of settlements to untap permanents and swing multiple times, combined with token generators that create junk tokens which can be sacrificed for mana, enabling explosive plays with Grenzo, Havoc Razer. Shaun’s proliferate and token synergies, especially with Rose Cutthroat Raider and Veronica, provide incremental advantages and board control. The Master’s ability to become Monarch and clone artifacts or enchantments adds a layer of threat multiplication, while Liberty Prime’s resilient artifact creatures and mana acceleration keep pace. The game evolves into a tense battle of attrition and incremental advantage, with players leveraging untap effects, token generation, and proliferate mechanics to outvalue opponents and prepare for decisive combat swings.
