Deck & Commander Strategies
Lathril, Blade of the Elves
Build a synergistic elf tribal deck that generates elf tokens and accumulates +1/+1 counters to create a large, overwhelming board presence capable of defeating opponents through combat damage.
Krenko, Mob Boss
Produce massive numbers of goblin tokens amplified by +1/+1 counters and aggressive attacks to quickly reduce opponents' life totals, aiming for a fast and impulsive win through swarm damage.
Sisay, Weatherlight Captain
Though not detailed explicitly, Sisay decks typically focus on legendary creature combos and toolbox-style play, retrieving key legends to control the board and generate value.
Damia, Sage of Stone
Control the game by drawing extra cards and ramping mana, using spells to dominate the board while maintaining a high life total and eventually winning through superior resources and damage.

Florian's elf synergy grew notably with creatures receiving multiple +1/+1 counters, making blockers formidable.
Tobi's goblin swarm threatened to snowball but was somewhat hindered by lack of mana acceleration early on.

The game saw tense moments where players had to decide whom to attack and when to hold back due to potential counterplays.
In the end, Steffen leveraged his overwhelming board state and life advantage to secure victory, despite Florian and Tobi both posing significant threats with their tribal armies.
