Gameplay Insights

  • 1

    Despite the power of Mystic Remora, a lack of additional mana sources can result in it becoming a trap, as seen in this match.

  • 2

    The Daretti player's ability to continually untap the One Ring for massive card advantage highlighted the strength of untap synergies in artifact decks.

  • 3

    The misplay with Delayed Blast Fireball demonstrates the importance of understanding the timing restrictions of each card in your deck.

Summary

In a high-stakes Commander match, four players pilot their decks featuring Tymna the Weaver, Kraum, Ludevic's Opus, Tana, the Bloodsower, Daretti, Scrap Savant, and Najeela, the Blade-Blossom. The match sees a series of explosive plays and dramatic shifts in board state. An early Mystic Remora by one player fails to provide the card advantage hoped for, resulting in a slow start. Another player's Daretti, Scrap Savant deck, however, builds an impressive artifact-based engine, frequently untapping the One Ring for massive card draw. Despite this, the lack of access to their commander makes it difficult to find a clear win condition. In the meantime, a Tana and Tymna deck, despite a misplay with Delayed Blast Fireball, manages to apply considerable pressure on the board.
