EDH Gameplay - Episode 70: Nekusar VS Sliver Overlord VS Klothys VS Ezuri

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Sliver Overlord

  Swarm the board with synergistic sliver creatures that grant each other powerful abilities, using Training Grounds to activate Sliver Overlord's tutor and control abilities cheaply.

• 

  Klothys, God of Destiny

  Leverage graveyard interactions and removal spells to control the board while gaining life and card advantage, aiming to outvalue opponents with incremental advantages.

• 

  Ezuri, Claw of Progress

  Develop a board of creatures that gain +1/+1 counters and trigger additional counters through combat and spells, growing threats rapidly to overwhelm opponents.

• 

  Nekusar, the Mindrazer

  Use wheel effects and discard enablers to force opponents to discard cards and take damage, while maintaining card draw and control elements to disrupt opponents and win through attrition.

Gameplay Insights

  The use of Incendiary Command by the Nekusar player to deal damage and force a wheel discard was a pivotal moment that disrupted players' hands and triggered multiple damage sources.

• 2

  Sliver Overlord's synergy with Training Grounds allowed for efficient activation of its abilities, enabling rapid board development and pressure.

• 3

  Azuri's experience counters combined with proliferate effects from creatures like Throwing Bird quickly enhanced board presence through +1/+1 counters.

• 4

  Klothys's activated ability was used effectively to exile key cards from opponents' graveyards, punishing discard and graveyard strategies while gaining life and dealing damage.

• 5

  The Nekusar player’s careful management of life and cards, including the use of enchantments like Liliana's Caress to amplify discard damage, created a taxing environment for creature-heavy decks.
