Deck Strategies
Gandalf the White
This deck is an artifact combo deck, using Gandalf's ETB and death triggers to accumulate value and combo out.
Old Gnawbone
This mono-green deck is straightforward: play creatures, turn them sideways, make mana, and repeat. The goal is to ramp up quickly and overwhelm opponents with sheer force.
Madame Vastra and Jenny Flint
This deck revolves around creating and sacrificing food and clue tokens to power up Madame Vastra and take down opponents.
Tetzin, Gnome Champion // The Golden-Gear Colossus

Summary
The game kicked off with strong starts from all players, with each quickly getting their Commanders out and starting to establish their board presence. Sam, with the partner pairing of Madame Vastra and Jenny Flint, quickly created food and clue tokens, while Kaden ramped up his mana with Old Gnawbone and quickly got Pathbreaker Ibex onto the battlefield. Cameron, playing Gandalf the White, focused on artifacts, and Ethan, playing Tetzin, generated card advantage through double-faced artifacts. The game saw several major swings with key plays like Ethan casting an unstable glyph bridge, which wiped out most creatures, and Kaden getting out a bane of progress with a massive number of counters. Ultimately, the game hinged on a series of strategic decisions, timely responses, and powerful combos.
