Deck Strategies

• 

  Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools and Kraum, Ludevic's Opus

  Leverage aggressive combat damage with Tymna's card draw and Jeska's damage triggers combined with efficient creatures and disruption to pressure opponents early and capitalize on incremental advantage.

  Focus on combat synergy and doubling combat damage with Bruse's partner, supporting an aggressive board state to quickly reduce opponents' life totals.

• 

  Aragorn, the Uniter

  Play a midrange toolbox deck focused on versatile creatures and control elements like Grand Abolisher to protect key plays and maintain board presence.

Summary

The game featured four players piloting competitive decks with powerful commanders, including Tevesh Szat paired with Kraum, Ludevic's Opus, Jeska with Tymna, Bruse Tarl, and Aragorn, the Uniter. Early turns involved standard mana development and setting up board presence, with players deploying key pieces like Grand Abolisher and ramp artifacts. The pivotal moment came when the Tevesh/Kraum player executed a complex combo involving Snapcaster Mage and Eternal Witness to generate infinite mana of all colors by repeatedly casting and bouncing Snapcaster Mage and Eternal Witness with the help of Fairy Mastermind and other mana dorks. This enabled them to draw their entire deck and set up a lethal scenario by playing creatures and using Finale of Devastation for a massive board presence or flickering Eternal Witness to repeatedly Lightning Bolt opponents to death. Despite attempts to disrupt, the combo player successfully pulled off the infinite sequence and secured the win.
