Deck Strategies

• 

  Golos, Tireless Pilgrim

  Ramp aggressively using lands and mana dorks enhanced by Leyline of Abundance to quickly cast Golos or combo pieces like Goblin Charbelcher for a one-shot kill.

• 

  Thrasios, Triton Hero & Kodama of the East Tree

  Grind through the game using efficient mana acceleration, card selection with Sensei’s Divining Top, and combo enablers like Training Grounds and Natural Order to assemble winning combos.

• 

  Urza, Lord High Artificer

  Generate massive amounts of mana and treasure tokens through artifact synergies and spells like Hullbreacher and Timetwister, then assemble infinite combos with Isochron Scepter and Dramatic Reversal to produce infinite creatures and lock the board.

• 

  Tevesh Szat & Kraum, Ludevic's Opus

  Ramp into powerful spells quickly using artifact acceleration and disruption, then leverage Tevesh’s ability to generate blockers and maintain board presence while setting up combo or control elements.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Sigi exploited Hullbreacher’s synergy with wheel effects to generate an overwhelming number of treasures, crippling opponents’ hands while fueling his own mana production.

• 2

  The use of Timetwister combined with Pact of Negation and Flusterstorm allowed Sigi to resolve multiple wheel effects despite heavy counterspell pressure.

• 3

  Urza’s activations were crucial for tutoring and casting multiple artifacts for free, enabling the combo assembly and infinite creature generation.

• 4

  Jonas’s careful choice to hold back casting Kraum prevented giving Sigi additional treasures, showing strategic restraint in a dire board state.

• 5

  Baal’s early Leyline of Abundance and landless strategy provided a solid ramp foundation but ultimately could not keep pace with Sigi’s explosive mana and combo setup.

Summary

The game featured four powerful and aggressive decks vying for control, with early ramp and interaction setting the pace. Baal on Landless Golos established mana acceleration through Leyline of Abundance and Agadeem the Undercrypt, preparing for a potential explosive Goblin Charbelcher finish. Luis piloted a combo-oriented Thrasios and Kodama deck, leveraging mana acceleration and card selection tools like Sensei's Divining Top and Training Grounds. Sigi on Urza, Lord High Artificer, quickly set up a formidable board presence with multiple mana rocks and a devastating Hullbreacher, which punished opponents' draw spells and generated massive treasure tokens. Jonas on Tevesh and Kraum struggled with mulligans and hand size early but managed to stabilize with ramp and disruption spells.
