Deck & Commander Strategies
Atreus, Impulsive Son
Utilizes experience counters from commander attacks combined with untap effects and mana rocks to generate value and board presence, aiming to out-resource opponents and win through incremental advantage and powerful creatures.
Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student // Tamiyo, Seasoned Scholar
Focuses on control elements with planeswalker abilities that weaken attackers, generate clues for card draw, and stabilize the board while setting up long-term advantage through card filtering and defense.
Thrasios, Triton Hero
Employs efficient ramp and card advantage through topdeck manipulation and incremental damage, aiming to control the game with value plays and eventually win through combo or attrition.
Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful
Develops a board of small creatures and uses synergistic effects to chip away at opponents and maintain pressure, often relying on incremental growth and token generation.
Norman Osborn // Green Goblin
Leverages graveyard recursion and discard synergy using Lion's Eye Diamond and discard outlets, enabling explosive early plays with commander recursion and combo potential to overwhelm opponents quickly.

Gameplay Summary
The game featured a four-player cEDH match with commanders Atreus, Impulsive Son; Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student; Thrasios, Triton Hero; Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful; and Norman Osborn (Green Goblin).
Early turns saw players jockeying for board position and mana development, with Atreus attempting an aggressive experience counter build using mana rocks like Mox Diamond and synergy pieces such as Walking Ballista.
Norman Osborn leveraged Lion's Eye Diamond and discard outlets to fuel his graveyard and command zone recursion, casting Green Goblin to enable powerful plays.
Tamiyo used her planeswalker form to apply defensive pressure by weakening attackers and generating clues for card advantage.
Thrasios developed his board with incremental value plays and prepared to control the pace with his efficient card draw and mana ramp.
A key early moment was the interaction between Norman Osborn's discard and graveyard recursion and Atreus's attempts to build experience counters, which shaped the tempo and threat level for the midgame.
