  Rin and Seri, Inseparable

  A token-generation deck that builds board presence through Rin and Seri’s ability to create tokens and leverages token synergies and combos to overwhelm opponents.

• 

  Vhal, Candlekeep Researcher and Raised by Giants

  A ramp and big creatures deck that focuses on generating large amounts of colorless mana through Vhal’s ability and turning creatures into 10/10 giants with Raised by Giants to dominate the board.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Urza’s attempt to create infinite mana by imprinting Dramatic Reversal on Isochron Scepter was thwarted by a well-timed counterspell, delaying his combo and altering the game’s tempo.

• 2

  Jeska’s damage amplification ability, which triples combat damage dealt to opponents from a chosen creature, created a significant threat that forced players to reconsider their defensive plans.

• 3

  Vhal’s ability to generate colorless mana equal to her toughness combined with Raised by Giants made her a potential late-game powerhouse, but early land constraints slowed the deck’s initial impact.

• 4

  Token strategies from Rin and Seri focused on board presence but required time to develop, making early interaction and disruption key to managing their threat.

• 5

  The use of artifact ramp and mana filtering in Urza’s deck allowed for explosive turns, emphasizing the importance of artifact synergy and disruption in the match.
