Deck Strategies
Nadu, Winged Wisdom
Nadu’s deck focuses on incremental advantage through combat damage triggers and pumping itself with +1/+1 counters, leveraging lands and creatures to generate value and pressure opponents over time.
Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh
Rograkh’s deck aims for aggressive combat with goblins and utilizes infinite mana combos, often paired with Thrasios to draw through the deck and find a game-ending Finale of Devastation.
Silas Renn, Seeker Adept
Silas Renn focuses on artifact synergy and disruption, using tutors and recursion to maintain board presence and control key threats.
Sisay, Weatherlight Captain
Sisay’s deck uses legendary creature toolbox strategies, tutoring key legends to assemble combos or generate value while maintaining pressure on opponents.
Thrasios, Triton Hero
Thrasios acts as a draw engine, enabling infinite mana combos to draw the entire deck and find decisive finishers, often in partnership with other commanders or combo pieces.

Summary
The game featured a diverse multiplayer Commander match with Nadu, Winged Wisdom piloted by Seth in first seat, facing off against Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh, Silas Renn, Seeker Adept, Sisay, Weatherlight Captain, and Thrasios, Triton Hero. Early turns involved typical ramp and setup plays: lands were played, mana rocks cracked, and key creatures like Elvish Mystic, Esper Sentinel, and Recruiter of the Guard entered the battlefield. Nadu’s player leveraged its ability to pump itself and generate incremental value through land drops and combat damage, while other players developed their board states with tutors, utility creatures, and mana engines. A pivotal moment occurred when the opponent with Rograkh and Thrasios assembled an infinite mana combo using Cloudstone Curio and other pieces, enabling them to draw their entire deck with Thrasios. This overwhelming resource advantage was decisive, as the combo player could then easily execute a game-winning Finale of Devastation. Despite Nadu’s strong early presence and incremental advantages, the infinite mana and draw combo proved insurmountable, clinching the victory for Victor on Rograkh. The gameplay showcased how powerful combo lines can abruptly end a game, despite other decks’ strong board presence and incremental value engines.
