Mentally Taxing Game Actions - Coram vs Ghalta vs Saheeli vs Falco Spara Season 2 Episode 27

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Ghalta, Primal Hunger

  Leverage counters, landfall triggers, and sacrifice outlets combined with Greater Good to repeatedly recast Ghalta while drawing massive amounts of cards and generating large creatures to dominate the board.

• 

  Falco Spara, Pactweaver

  Manipulate shield counters to play cards from the top of the deck and build towards an infinite combo involving Core Tapper and Magistrate's Scepter while leveraging plus one plus one and charge counters to enhance creatures and interactions.

• 

  Saheeli, Radiant Creator

  Generate energy counters by casting artifacts, use energy to create artifact creature copies of permanents, and overwhelm opponents with a large token army supported by additional counter synergies and artifact interactions.

• 

  Coram, the Undertaker

  Mill cards to fill graveyards and grow Coram based on the largest creature in any graveyard, while managing creatures with variable power and toughness that require constant tracking to maximize combat effectiveness.

Gameplay Insights

  Saheeli’s pilot had to track energy counters alongside a growing artifact token army, balancing token creation and resource management to maintain board presence.

• 5

  Early plays focused on establishing mana and key enchantments like Hardened Scales to maximize counter synergies, setting the stage for mid-to-late game explosive turns.
