RE-MATCH! Zur, Rograkh + Silas, Gitrog, Ob Nixilis | cEDH Commander Gameplay

Deck Strategies

• 

  Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin

  This deck seems to focus on control and disruption, although the commander did not see much action in the game.

• 

  The Gitrog Monster

  The deck leverages land drops and sacrifices for card draw and value. It uses Dakmor Salvage in combination with a discard outlet and the cleanup step to generate massive draw triggers and cycle through the deck.

• 

  Zur the Enchanter

  The deck aims to leverage Zur's ability to tutor enchantments directly into play. Despite some disruption, the deck did not manage to execute its game plan fully.

• 

  Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh

  This deck uses Rograkh's zero casting cost and other synergies to generate fast mana and apply early pressure.

• 

  Silas Renn, Seeker Adept

  The deck appears to focus on artifact synergies, but did not get a chance to showcase its full potential in the game.

Summary

The game kicked off with all players getting their commanders on the board and ramping up their mana bases. The Gitrog Monster player established a commanding board state early on with Ramunap Excavator and a series of land drops and sacrifices, drawing many cards in the process. However, a well-timed Toxic Deluge by the same player cleared the board of all creatures. In the end, the Gitrog Monster player leveraged Dakmor Salvage, a discard outlet, and the cleanup step to generate a massive amount of draw triggers, which allowed them to cycle through their deck multiple times and set up a win condition.
