Deck & Commander Strategies
Nethroi, Apex of Death
The deck focuses on tribal synergies, with a subtheme of the mutate mechanic. The game plan is to swarm the board with creatures, then use Nethroi's ability to recur valuable creatures from the graveyard.
Kaheera, the Orphanguard
This deck is a cat tribal with some nightmare creatures, aiming to overwhelm the board with powerful creatures.
Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator
This deck leverages the Glint-Horn Buccaneer combo for a potential one-shot kill. The deck also seeks to generate value through Malcolm's ability to create treasure tokens.
Tana, the Bloodsower
The deck aims to create a large number of Saproling tokens, which can then be used for various synergies or to swarm the opponent.
Mogis, God of Slaughter
This deck seeks to control the board and slowly whittle down opponents' life totals through Mogis's ability and other incremental damage effects.
Yurlok of Scorch Thrash
This deck utilizes mana burn tactics, forcing opponents to either use their mana or take damage. The deck also includes combos that can generate large amounts of mana for lethal damage.

Gameplay Summary
The game was a high-stakes Commander battle with several unique interactions and dramatic shifts in board state.
Early in the game, the player controlling the Yurlok of Scorch Thrash deck utilized Umbral Mantle to generate a massive amount of mana and potentially one-shot an opponent.
However, this was thwarted by a well-timed Chaos Warp from another player.
This sudden shift in the game's dynamics set the stage for the rest of the match.
Later, the player piloting the Mogis, God of Slaughter deck managed to put multiple emblems on each opponent through Chandra, Awakened Inferno's uptick ability, creating a slow but inevitable clock ticking down to their doom.
The game ended in a climactic showdown, with the Nethroi, Apex of Death player casting Auspicious Starrix in an attempt to turn the tide, but it was too late to overcome the steady burn of Chandra's emblems.
