Deck & Commander Strategies

Saheeli, the Sun's Brilliance
Leverages artifact synergies and card draw to control the board and generate value. Uses Saheeli's ability to create copies of artifacts or creatures and combo with artifacts for incremental advantage.

Kaervek the Merciless
Punishes opponents for casting spells by dealing damage, forcing political pressure and tempo shifts. Focuses on controlling the board by making spellcasting costly.

Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer
Generates a large number of tokens and then transforms them into bigger threats, overwhelming opponents with board presence and synergy.

Etali, Primal Conqueror
Aims to repeatedly attack and exile cards to cast them for free, copying Etali and abusing opponent resources to generate explosive advantage.
Gameplay Insights
- 1
The early use of Spiteful Visions by Kaervek's player created a risky but rewarding card draw engine that accelerated the game pace while draining life.
- 2
Etali's player capitalized on Ragavan's dash ability to generate treasure tokens and additional mana, enabling explosive turns and free casting of exiled cards.
- 3
Brudiclad's token generation put pressure on opponents to respond quickly or face overwhelming board states.
- 4
Saheeli's artifact synergies and card draw engines aimed to maintain steady incremental advantage rather than immediate aggression.
- 5
Food Chain was played as a potential combo enabler, hinting at a later explosive sequence to generate infinite or large mana for a game-winning play.

Gameplay Summary
The game began with players setting up their mana bases and early board presence, with Saheeli the Sun's Brilliance focusing on artifact synergy and card draw, Kaervek the Merciless punishing opponents for casting spells, Etali, Primal Conqueror aiming to copy Etali triggers and leverage opponent resources, and Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer generating and enhancing tokens.
Early plays included ramp and card draw engines such as Stormfist Crusader, Thermo-Alchemist, and Spiteful Visions, which introduced a life-draw tradeoff dynamic.
Ragavan's repeated dash and treasure creation provided additional mana acceleration and card advantage for Etali's player, while artifact synergies from Saheeli's deck allowed for steady board development.
