Deck & Commander Strategies

Volrath the Fallen
A monoblack deck centered on value creatures, graveyard recursion, and aggressive creature combat supported by artifacts and lands that generate extra mana or utility, aiming to overwhelm opponents with big threats and removal.
The Mimeoplasm
A graveyard-focused deck that fills the graveyard with large creatures, then animates The Mimeoplasm to become a copy with added +1/+1 counters, leveraging powerful creatures like Galta and Skithiryx for massive board presence and lethal attacks.
Tatyova, Benthic Druid
A landfall and ramp deck that gains incremental advantage by drawing cards and gaining life whenever a land enters the battlefield, using this engine to build a large board and outvalue opponents over time.
Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER // Sephiroth, One-Winged Angel
A controlling and combo-oriented deck that uses spells and creatures to gradually weaken opponents, refilling the hand and manipulating the library via cards like Scroll Rack, aiming to win through attrition and precise combo triggers.

Gameplay Summary

The game began with players developing their mana bases and setting up early board presence.

Volrath the Fallen focused on a monoblack value and creature-based strategy, deploying utility lands and artifacts like Crucible of Worlds and Worn Power Stone to accelerate his game plan.

The Mimeoplasm player aimed to fill the graveyard with large creatures and then animate the Mimeoplasm to become a powerful threat.

Tatyova, Benthic Druid's player pursued a landfall strategy, ramping and drawing cards to gain incremental advantage.

Sephiroth’s deck executed a more controlling and combo-oriented approach, using spells and creatures to weaken opponents over time. Key moments included the Mimeoplasm player using Buried Alive to put big creatures like Galta, Primal Hunger and Skithiryx the Blight Dragon into the graveyard, setting up a potent graveyard-based threat.

Volrath made strong use of Pete Bog (a land that provides mana) and Blood Artist to pressure opponents and protect himself.

Tatyova leveraged land drops and card draw to steadily grow her board, while Sephiroth used spells like Scroll Rack to refill his hand and manipulate draws.

The game featured strategic interactions between graveyard hate, removal spells, and incremental value engines, ultimately revolving around the big creatures and combos brought back by The Mimeoplasm and Volrath’s aggressive kill potential.

The shifting board state and resource management highlighted the importance of timing key spells and maximizing value from graveyard recursion and landfall triggers.
