Deck & Commander Strategies

Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge
Exile cards from all players' libraries and cast free instant and sorcery spells from the exile zone during attacks to generate card advantage and control the game.

Gameplay Summary
The game began with each player developing their board and establishing their commanders.
Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge focused on exiling cards from all players' libraries and casting free instant and sorcery spells from the exile zone.
Rograkh and Ardenn emphasized artifact equipment synergy, rapidly powering up Rograkh with Black Blade Reforged and other gear to create a large, threatening creature.
Brago, King Eternal aimed to abuse flicker effects to repeatedly trigger enter-the-battlefield abilities and control the board. A key turning point occurred when Jeleva’s opponent used Peel from Reality to bounce Ardenn back to hand, disrupting the equipment synergy.
Meanwhile, Brago’s player cleverly used Spark Double and Mercurial Pretender to copy Jeleva, amplifying the spellcasting potential and generating value.
Brago then cast Breach the Multiverse, allowing all players to mill ten cards and put creature cards from their graveyards onto the battlefield, which significantly shifted the board state.
Brago further locked down the game by blinking Spark Double to become Meddling Mage, naming Brago to prevent commander recasts and restrict Brago’s opponent’s options. Despite these lockdowns and board developments, the game remained interactive with multiple layers of disruption and value plays.
The surprise kill came from a sudden swing with a heavily equipped Rograkh, demonstrating the potency of equipment synergy combined with combat tricks and flicker shenanigans.
The game showcased dynamic interplay between spellcasting, flickering, equipment stacking, and graveyard recursion strategies.
