The Brothers War w/ The Professor | Game Knights 58 | Magic: The Gathering Commander Gameplay EDH

Deck Strategies

• 

  Queen Kayla bin-Kroog

  The deck aims to get tons of value from Queen Kayla bin-Kroog's ability by playing a deck with cards that cost three mana or less, continually wheeling the hand away and filling up the board with pingers and engine pieces to quickly seize victory.

• 

  Urza, Lord Protector

  The Urza deck aims to go wide with artifacts and overpower opponents through sheer numbers. With cards that make artifacts cheaper, the deck aims to flood the board faster than anyone else can handle, and potentially flip Urza into his powerful Planeswalker form.

• 

  Ashnod the Uncaring

  This deck focuses on doubling activated abilities that require sacrifice. With most cards in the deck able to sacrifice themselves or something else, Ashnod aims to gain an unstoppable advantage from this repeated doubling of value.

• 

  Mishra, Claimed by Gix

  The Mishra deck is straightforward but brutal: make an army, attack with said army, win the game. With various ways to fill the board with tokens and attackers, the plan is to play Mishra and swing out to drain opponents.

Summary

In this intense and thrilling game, four players battled fiercely using their decks themed around the characters from Magic's oldest story, The Brothers' War. Jimmy, with his Queen Kayla bin-Kroog deck, took an early lead by quickly ramping his mana base. Despite this advantage, the game was far from decided. Each player had their moments of glory, with powerful spells and combos being thrown around. In the late game, tensions ran high as each player was poised to claim victory. However, it was the powerful meld mechanic that ultimately decided the outcome of this epic battle.
