    One of the Atraxa decks focused on infect as a win condition, using cards like Ichor Rats to give all players poison counters and then proliferating those counters.

    Another Atraxa deck took a different approach, focusing on drawing cards and building an overwhelming board state. The strategy seemed to be based on drawing as many cards as possible, potentially leading to a self-mill victory.

    The remaining Atraxa decks' strategies were less clear from the transcript, but they appeared to be centered around building up +1/+1 counters and taking advantage of Atraxa's proliferate ability.

Gameplay Insights

  • 1

    The use of infect in a multiplayer game can be a double-edged sword. While it can deal significant damage quickly, it may also draw the attention and hostility of other players.

  • 2

    Drawing a large number of cards can provide a significant advantage, but it also risks depleting the player's library. Players should be cautious with such strategies in multiplayer games, as they might become the target of other players.

  • 3

    The -1/-1 counter from Contagion Clasp can be proliferated by Atraxa, turning a single card into a potent threat against creatures with low toughness.

  • 4

    The player using the card draw strategy gave a clear indication of their game plan, potentially allowing opponents to adapt their strategies accordingly.

Summary

In this unique match-up, all players chose Atraxa, Praetors' Voice as their commander, leading to a proliferate-themed game. The early game was characterized by players setting up their boards, with one player using a Contagion Clasp to put a -1/-1 counter on an opponent's creature. Another player attempted to gain an advantage by drawing a significant number of cards using enchantress effects and Ristic Study, indicating a potential deck-out strategy. However, the gameplay was also marked by a notable use of infect, as one player cast Ichor Rats, giving all players a poison counter. The game continued with players seeking to maximize their use of Atraxa's proliferate ability while trying to navigate around the increasing threats on the board.
