Deck & Commander Strategies
Magda, Brazen Outlaw
Generate treasures quickly and leverage them for explosive mana acceleration and combo plays, focusing on artifact synergies and fast mana to overwhelm opponents.
Urza, Lord High Artificer
Build an artifact value engine that can produce infinite mana and card draw, enabling powerful combo finishes and control through artifact utility.
Marwyn, the Nurturer
Ramp aggressively with elves to generate enormous amounts of green mana, then use that mana for storm-like combos and casting game-ending spells like Genesis Wave or Tooth and Nail.
Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin
Apply pressure and chaos through card draw and damage triggers, disrupting opponents while gaining incremental advantages to push towards victory.

Gameplay Summary
The game began with a typical ramp and setup phase, with Marwyn establishing early elf mana acceleration and Magda focusing on artifact and treasure generation.
Urza developed his artifact engine quietly while Ob Nixilis worked to disrupt and apply pressure with damage and card draw triggers.
As the game progressed, Marwyn quickly built a strong mana base, enabling her to cast powerful spells like Wirewood Lodge and Symbiote to untap her creatures repeatedly.
Magda aimed to leverage treasure tokens for explosive plays, attempting to control the board and generate value.
Mid-game saw some intense interaction, including counterspells and strategic plays around spell casting restrictions, slowing down some combo attempts. The turning point came when Marwyn revealed a combo setup involving infinite mana generation, using cards like Genesis Wave, Tooth and Nail, and Leg's Quick Refines.
This potential for infinite green mana poised her to cast her entire deck or fetch a game-winning combo.
Meanwhile, Magda and Urza attempted to disrupt or respond but faced increasing pressure.
Ob Nixilis' chaos-oriented strategy added layers of complexity but was unable to prevent Marwyn's explosive ramp and combo potential from dominating the late game.
Ultimately, the game highlighted high-level decision-making in balancing ramp, disruption, and combo execution among four powerful commanders.
