Commander Gameplay! Yidris, Silas Renn, Titania, & Oona EDH | Game Knights 3 Magic the Gathering

Deck Strategies

• 

  Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder

  Josh Kim's Yidris deck employs the infect mechanic to take out opponents quickly. The deck aims to cast Yidris early, then use enchantments like Phyresis to give it infect, potentially eliminating a player with a single successful attack.

• 

  Silas Renn, Seeker Adept & Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa

  Jimmy's deck is artifact-themed, aiming to use the recursion ability of Silas Renn and the evasion provided by Sidar Kondo to keep the board under control while generating incremental value.

• 

  Titania, Protector of Argoth

  Josh Lee Kwai's Titania deck focuses on lands entering and leaving the battlefield, generating a large number of tokens with high power and toughness. The deck also includes cards like Zuran Orb for added synergy.

• Oona, Queen of the Fae

  Craig's Oona deck employs a mill strategy, looking to deplete opponents' libraries as a win condition. The deck includes numerous cards that support this strategy, focusing on control and disruption.

Summary

The game kicked off with a mix of strategies, with Josh Kim piloting a Yidris Infect deck, Jimmy bringing a Silas Renn & Sidar Kondo brew, Josh Lee Kwai running a Titania lands deck, and Craig handling an Oona Mill strategy. The early game was filled with ramping and setting up the board presence. However, the tide of the game turned when Josh Kim managed to enchant Yidris with Phyresis, giving it infect. He then launched an aggressive attack against Josh Lee Kwai, who was left defenseless and succumbed to infect damage early in the game. Meanwhile, Jimmy was building a solid board presence with his artifact-themed deck, and Craig was slowly setting up his mill strategy.
