Deck & Commander Strategies
Tannuk, Steadfast Second
Cheats out large red creatures and artifacts cheaply to apply early pressure, focusing on aggressive board presence and quick damage output.
Kilo, Apogee Mind
Uses proliferate to build charge counters, enhancing creatures or permanents to dominate the board and generate card advantage for sustained control.
Tannuk, Memorial Ensign
Leverages landfall triggers to deal damage to all opponents and draw cards, creating a powerful engine through repeated land drops.
Hearthhull, the Worldseed
Focuses on land sacrifice combined with landfall to trigger damage and token creation, controlling the board through incremental advantages and resource denial.
Gameplay Insights

Gameplay Summary
The game features a dynamic four-player Commander match in a Two-Headed Giant format with decks centered around the new Edge of Eternity commanders.
Early turns see all players ramping aggressively, deploying lands and mana rocks to accelerate their game plans.
The Tannuk decks focus heavily on cheating out large creatures and triggering landfall effects to pressure opponents and draw cards, while Hearthhull leverages land sacrifice combined with landfall triggers for incremental damage and token generation.
Kilo capitalizes on proliferate mechanics, using charge counters to grow board presence and gain card advantage. Key turning points include multiple landfall triggers stacking to deal damage to all opponents and draw cards, especially from Tannuk Memorial Ensign, creating a strong engine for card advantage and board control.
The interaction between artifact synergies like Steel Overseer and creatures such as Hangerback Walker and Weft Stalker Ardent adds incremental damage and board presence.
Players also disrupt each other's tempo with well-timed blockers and removal, while ramp strategies escalate quickly, setting up for mid-game power plays.
The game’s tempo swings are driven by efficient land drops, proliferate activations, and leveraging commander abilities to keep pressure on opponents and maintain a steady stream of threats and card draws.
