Deck & Commander Strategies
Ingris Stingerquill
A token and damage-dealing commander that punishes opponents whenever creatures attack, leveraging tokens and small creatures to chip away life totals.
Chatterfang, Squirrel General
Focuses on creating large numbers of squirrel tokens rapidly to overwhelm opponents and generate value from creature synergies.
Uldaros Theorix
Utilizes graveyard exile and recursion, casting spells from the graveyard and employing milling and card advantage to out-value opponents.
The Mycotyrant
Generates a huge army of tokens through its descend mechanic and combos heavily with graveyard recursion and milling to control the board and drain opponents’ life.
Gameplay Insights
- 1
Jordan maximized value from graveyard recursion by repeatedly reanimating creatures and triggering multiple mill and drain effects to pressure opponents.
- 2
The use of Mosswort Bridge along with token generators and graveyard recursion allowed Jordan to cast high-impact creatures for free, accelerating his board presence.

G’s strategic use of Toxic Deluge cleared wide boards but left key permanents like Head Shredder and Jace to maintain card advantage and board control.
- 4
Zoe’s Chatterfang quickly swarmed the board with squirrel tokens, creating a significant early threat but was temporarily halted by board wipes.
- 5
Sammy’s Ingris Stingerquill enabled incremental damage to each opponent during attacks, synergizing well with aggressive token and creature strategies.
- 6
Players effectively balanced milling and card draw engines, such as Thought Scour and surveil triggers, to maintain hand size and fuel graveyard-based strategies.

Gameplay Summary
The game started with players establishing their mana bases and early board presence, including ramp spells and token generators.
Early significant plays included Sammy casting Ingris Stingerquill, which enabled damage to opponents when creatures like Scheming Silver Tongue attacked.
Zoe's Chatterfang created a swarm of squirrel tokens, quickly increasing board threat density.
G utilized mana acceleration and card draw engines, casting powerful planeswalkers like Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, and executing a Toxic Deluge to clear the board, though key vehicles like Head Shredder and Jace remained. Jordan, piloting The Mycotyrant deck, leveraged graveyard recursion heavily, bringing back multiple creatures such as Tristan, Kyle’s Cultivator, and Elves of Deep Shadow through Dread Return and Colossal Grave Reaver.
This enabled him to generate large boards of tokens and repeatedly mill opponents while draining life with Ayara and Marionette Apprentice.
The Mycotyrant itself created a massive token army after descending, turning the tide in Jordan’s favor.
Key interactions such as Mosswort Bridge enabling free casting of creatures off the graveyard and multiple surveil triggers accelerated board development.
The game featured several board wipes but Jordan’s ability to rebuild quickly and drain opponents steadily positioned him strongly as the game progressed.
