I Hate Your Deck #123 Kotis v Mr. Foxglove v Eshki v Chevill || Commander Gameplay MTG EDH Magic

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Mr. Foxglove

  Utilizes a suite of tutors and card draw to deploy large creatures quickly, aiming to outvalue opponents through efficient spells and powerful creatures while protecting key plays with counterspells like Fierce Guardianship.

• 

  Chevill, Bane of Monsters

  Focuses on applying bounty counters to opponents' creatures and planeswalkers to gain life and card advantage upon their deaths, leveraging widespread deathtouch to control the board and disrupt enemy threats.

• 

  Eshki, Temur's Roar

  Builds counters by casting creatures, especially large dragons, to trigger card draw and damage opponents, using ramp and mana reduction to accelerate casting and bombard opponents with repeated damage.

• 

  Kotis, the Fangkeeper

  A Voltron-style build that deals combat damage to opponents to exile cards from their libraries, then casts spells for free from those exiled cards, focusing on stealing and casting high-value spells while maintaining board presence.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Chevill's use of bounty counters early on to target early threats shaped political dynamics around removing creatures with counters to deny opponent card draw and life gain.

• 2

  Eshki's interaction with Tail Swipe created a key combat and fight sequence that resulted in the death of Eshki but still triggered life gain and card draw, demonstrating careful timing and stack management.

• 3

  Mr. Foxglove's reliance on multiple tutors and Fierce Guardianship allowed for flexible responses and ensured a steady stream of threats to maintain pressure on the table.

• 4

  Kotis had to balance aggressive Voltron swings with the risk of killing opponents too quickly, as losing stolen spells from his ability would be detrimental, highlighting a delicate risk-reward playstyle.
