Deck & Commander Strategies
Breya, Etherium Shaper
A control-oriented four-color artifact deck that uses Breya to generate Thopter tokens and leverage artifact synergies to control the board and close out the game with incremental damage and sacrifice outlets.
Aang, Swift Savior
A tempo deck that deploys efficient creatures with enter-the-battlefield effects and uses card selection spells and disruption to apply pressure early and find a lethal combo or damage sequence before the control deck stabilizes.
Gameplay Insights
- 1
Breya’s ability to generate artifact tokens and sacrifice them for damage allowed her to apply consistent pressure in the late game after stabilizing the board.
- 2
Aang’s use of flash creatures like Malcolm and Fairy Mastermind provided card selection and disruption that kept the pressure on Breya’s control elements.
- 3
The interaction around counterspells and removal spells like Portable Hole and Flame Slash was pivotal in controlling the tempo and board state.
- 4
Aang’s Tainted Pact was a key card for digging for answers or a win condition but was vulnerable to Breya’s recurring control tools and commander presence.
- 5
Breya’s mana base and the necessity to pay four colored mana for her cast was a limiting factor but offset by access to signets and artifact synergies.

Gameplay Summary
The game featured a matchup between a Breya, Etherium Shaper control deck and an Aang, Swift Savior tempo deck.
Breya's player leveraged a four-color control shell, aiming to utilize Breya’s artifact synergy and artifact token generation to stabilize and eventually finish the game.
Early plays included key interaction spells like Portable Hole and counterspells to disrupt Aang’s tempo.
The Aang deck tried to apply pressure through efficient creatures like Malcolm, Fairy Mastermind, and Tainted Pact to find their combo or lethal damage quickly.
Despite some early aggression and card advantage from Aang’s tempo creatures, Breya’s control elements and artifact synergies allowed her to maintain board presence and manage threats effectively.
