Deck Strategies
Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer
The deck's strategy revolves around playing morph cards for free and drawing cards for each morph played. This allows for surprise tactics and value generation.
Ghired, Conclave Exile
This deck aims to generate large creature tokens and use the populate mechanic to mass-produce these tokens. The end goal is to overwhelm opponents with a large army of tokens.
Anje Falkenrath
The focus of this deck is on discarding cards for value and playing them from the graveyard. It also uses the madness mechanic to cast spells at instant speed and often at a reduced cost.
Elsha of the Infinite
Elsha's deck is all about gaining card advantage and casting instants and sorceries for value. This allows for flexible play and can respond to threats efficiently.
Gameplay Insights
- 1
The Professor's early play of a Sol Ring set him up for a potential advantage, but the benefit was somewhat negated as he had to use the mana to adjust his mana base.
- 2
The Burnished Hart played by Josh provided a significant ramp that is not common in Jeskai colors, setting him up for potential big plays later.
- 3
The synergy between Anje Falkenrath and Squee, Goblin Nabob set up an effective value engine for repeated card draw.

Summary
The game commenced with the players deploying their commanders and early game strategies. Anje Falkenrath was the first commander to hit the board, followed by Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer, Ghired, Conclave Exile, and Elsha of the Infinite. The game progressed with each player trying to execute their deck's strategy. Ghired focused on creating and populating large tokens, while Kadena sought to exploit the morph mechanic to surprise opponents. Anje focused on discarding cards for value and refilling her hand, while Elsha aimed for card advantage and casting at instant speed. Despite some early aggressive plays and strategic decisions, the game's outcome remained undecided.
