Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Using Mist Rise Village to ensure key spells cannot be countered provided a crucial advantage in protecting combo pieces and advancing game plan.

  Voice of Victory acted as an aggressive Grand Abolisher variant, creating warrior tokens with mobilize that pressured opponents and limited their ability to respond during the Timna player's turn.

• 3

  Artifact disruption on Chrome Mox effectively slowed down opponents’ mana acceleration without significant cost, highlighting targeted resource denial.

• 4

  Casting Intuition to tutor a combo package (Underworld Breach, Lion's Eye Diamond, and Salvage Reclamation) demonstrated the deck’s ability to set up explosive turns with graveyard recursion.

• 5

  Evolution Witness synergized well with Mothman’s mill strategy, enabling repeated recursion of important permanents from the graveyard for sustained advantage.

Summary

The game featured a competitive multiplayer Commander showdown utilizing top new cards from the Tarkir Dragonstorm set. Each player incorporated a select Tarkir card into their established cEDH decks to test their impact. Early turns saw players developing their mana bases while setting up key cards like Chrome Mox, Sensei's Divining Top, and ramping mana to enable quick plays. Kinnan focused on ramp and protection with Mist Rise Village, while Timna’s player leveraged Voice of Victory to create aggressive warrior tokens that functioned as a pseudo-Grand Abolisher, enabling strong offensive pressure. Interaction was present but measured; for example, artifact disruption was used strategically to limit opponents’ resources (such as blowing up key Chrome Moxes). Intuition was cast to tutor a powerful graveyard recursion and combo package including Underworld Breach and Lion's Eye Diamond, hinting at explosive potential. The Wise Mothman deck integrated mill and recursion synergies through cards like Awaken the Honored Dead and Evolution Witness, adding resilience and value. As the game progressed, players balanced between developing board presence and maintaining interaction, with key moments revolving around protecting combo pieces from counters or removal, and generating tokens to apply pressure. The inclusion of Tarkir cards like Mist Rise Village and Voice of Victory showed promise in enhancing existing strategies by providing counterspell protection and aggressive tempo respectively. Overall, the game highlighted the synergy of new Tarkir cards within fast-paced cEDH environments, with a focus on efficient mana use, protection, and combo potential.
