Commander at Home #7 - Chiss-Goria v Chishiro v Kamahl/Jeska v Raggadragga w/ Jimmy Wong + Jimothy

Deck Strategies

• 

  Raggadragga, Goreguts Boss

  This deck aims to ramp quickly using dorks and cast big spells for a formidable board presence.

• 

  Kamahl, Heart of Krosa and Jeska, Thrice Reborn

  The strategy is to generate a ton of mana, usually hitting the 200 mana mark, without going infinite. It uses the number 'three' theme with its commander abilities and other cards.

• 

  Chiss-Goria, Forge Tyrant

  The deck leverages artifacts to reduce the cost of Chiss-Goria with its affinity ability, then plays other gigantic artifacts when Chiss-Goria attacks.

  Chishiro, the Shattered Blade

  This deck focuses on artifact synergy and token generation, particularly spirit tokens and equipment-modified creatures.

Summary

The game started off with the players showcasing their respective commanders and discussing their deck strategies. Jimmy Wong's Raggadragga, Goreguts Boss deck aimed to ramp quickly and cast big spells, while Jimothy's Kamahl and Jeska deck focused on ramping even more to achieve large amounts of mana. Meanwhile, the hosts played Chiss-Goria and Chishiro decks, both with an affinity for artifacts. Early in the game, Jimothy made a significant play by casting Jeska, Thrice Reborn and using her ability to deal damage to all opponents' creatures, effectively controlling the board. This move disrupted the other players' plans, particularly Jimmy Wong's, who was then mana-screwed.
