Deck Strategies

  Utilizes a Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker based combo with Tana's ability to generate extra creature tokens and Tymna's card draw via combat damage to assemble infinite damage combos.

• 

  Momir Vig, Simic Visionary

  Focuses on assembling a 'hack' effect (e.g., Whim of Volrath) to chain tutors for creatures, generating massive card advantage and eventually winning through powerful creature combos.

• 

  Sidisi, Brood Tyrant

  Leverages Hermit Druid milling to fill the graveyard, then uses reanimation spells and graveyard value creatures to overwhelm opponents, often winning through milling the entire library and casting a key finisher like Phyrexian Devourer or Fatespinner.

• 

  Krenko, Mob Boss

  Generates large numbers of goblin tokens quickly and aims to combo with cards like Manna Echoes and Staff of Domination for infinite mana or infinite damage, using haste and protection to push through lethal attacks.

Summary

The game started with each player developing their board and establishing their strategies. Blood Pod, piloted by Joseph, aimed to assemble a Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker combo with key creatures to generate infinite tokens or damage. Momir Vig, controlled by Jordan, focused on assembling a 'hack' effect like Whim of Volrath to chain creature tutors and generate massive card advantage. Adam, on Sidisi, Brood Tyrant, utilized a Hermit Druid mill strategy combined with graveyard recursion and Synergistic creatures like Gaea's Blessing to win through milling and reanimation. Nate's Krenko, Mob Boss deck sought to rapidly produce goblin tokens and leverage combos involving Manna Echoes or Staff of Domination for an overwhelming board presence and combo finish. Early turns saw some key plays, including Jordan using Sylvan Library to build card advantage, Adam casting Sidisi to start milling and creating zombies, and Nate equipping Lightning Greaves to Krenko for protection and token generation. Joseph's Blood Pod faced early disruption when Jordan used Gilded Drake to temporarily steal Timna, but Joseph leveraged Diabolic Intent and Mana Crypt to recover and deploy key combo pieces like Ramunap Excavator. Adam's pivotal moment was casting Toxic Deluge to clear the board, resetting the pace of the game and buying time for his graveyard-based combos to develop. The game featured several critical combat phases and strategic plays around timing of board wipes, protection of commanders, and leveraging graveyard synergies, ultimately revolving around the competing combo lines of the four decks.
