Deck & Commander Strategies
Thrasios, Triton Hero and Tymna the Weaver
This deck aims to leverage card draw from Tymna's combat damage triggers and Thrasios' mana sink for card advantage, while ramping with efficient artifacts and lands to assemble a combo or overwhelming board presence.
Sefris of the Hidden Ways
Sefris focuses on creating value through recursive creatures and venturing into dungeons to gain incremental advantages, using disruption and incremental damage to control the board.
Magda, Brazen Outlaw
Magda's deck capitalizes on dwarf synergies to generate treasure tokens, enabling explosive mana acceleration and aggressive board development to win through overwhelming damage or combo.
Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy
Kinnan ramps by generating large amounts of mana from nonland permanents, especially creatures, with a focus on explosive mana leads to cast big spells or combos quickly.

Gameplay Summary
The game began with players establishing their mana bases and casting early utility creatures and ramp spells.
Thrasios/Tymna's player quickly set up card draw engines and ramp, while Magda's player developed treasures and aggressive dwarves.
Kinnan focused on mana acceleration through creatures like Bloom Tender and Arcane Signet, while Sefris utilized value creatures and dungeon ventures.
A pivotal moment occurred when Magda cast Magus of the Moon, which severely hampered non-basic lands and disrupted the mana bases of several players, leading to a temporary board lock.
Despite this, the players continued to develop their boards, with Magda generating treasures and applying pressure through combat damage.
The Chalice of the Void was cast at zero, aiming to shut down cheap spells and slow opponents.
In response, a Gilded Drake was played targeting Magda, but it was immediately countered and exiled, preventing Magda from becoming an overwhelming threat.
The table's focus then shifted to controlling the most dangerous player, with multiple layers of interaction and disruption occurring.
The game featured key uses of card advantage, mana acceleration, and interactive spells to jockey for board control and position for a win.
