Deck & Commander Strategies
Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy
This deck aims to generate large amounts of mana using Kinnan's ability and then use that mana to activate Kinnan and reveal high-cost creatures or artifacts. One of the key win conditions is to reveal powerful creatures like Void Winnower which can heavily disrupt the opponents.
Inalla, Archmage Ritualist
Inalla runs a Grixis combo strategy aiming for spellseeker loops. The deck also utilizes wizard cycling to fetch key pieces and uses artifacts for mana acceleration.
Rielle, the Everwise
Rielle focuses on a discard matters strategy, aiming to net positive on cards like Faithless Looting and assemble an Underworld Breach combo.
Tymna the Weaver/Tana, the Bloodsower
Also known as 'Blood Pod', this deck is a metagame crusher deck that can hold down the entire table using various stax pieces. It uses Tymna's card draw ability to maintain card advantage and Tana to create pressure on the board.

Gameplay Summary
In this competitive Commander match, the game started off with Noah piloting Inalla making a strong start with a Mana Vault, Talisman of Creativity, and Arcane Signet.
However, a Collector Ouphe deployed by Griffin (Tymna/Tana) hampered Noah's artifact-based strategy.
As the game progressed, the board started to get controlled by various stax pieces like Ranger-Captain of Eos, Cursed Totem, and Manglehorn.
A key turning point was when Mike (Kinnan) spun Kinnan revealing a Void Winnower which posed an imminent threat to the table.
Eventually, the table was able to manage the threats using Chain of Vapor and other interaction spells.
Despite the stax pieces and interaction spells flying around, the game was still open with no clear winner until the transcript cut off.
