Deck Strategies
Koma, Cosmos Serpent
Jacob's strategy was to ramp into Koma as quickly as possible, increase token generation, and protect his commander to maintain dominance on the battlefield.
Toski, Bearer of Secrets
Rachel's strategy was to go wide with tokens and use Toski's indestructibility and card draw ability to outvalue her opponents.
Magda, Brazen Outlaw
Jimmy's strategy revolved around generating and sacrificing treasure tokens to bring out powerful dragons and artifacts onto the battlefield.
Jorn, God of Winter
Josh's strategy was to utilize snow permanents and Jorn's ability to double his mana every turn, using it on mana sinks or potentially reusing graveyard resources.
Gameplay Insights
- 1
Jacob's early play of Mystic Remora set him up for potential card advantage, as non-creature spells are common in the early game.
- 2
Jimmy's early casting of his commander, Magda, Brazen Outlaw, set the stage for future treasure generation and big plays.
- 3
Rachel's Verduran Enchantress signaled a potential enchantress sub-theme, providing her with a steady stream of card draw.
- 4
Josh's Rhyme Tender promised a strong mana advantage if left unchecked, potentially doubling his mana every turn with Jorn on the field.
- 5
Jimmy's use of Jessica's Will early in the game provided him with a significant burst of mana and card advantage.

Summary
The game kicked off with all players establishing their mana bases and setting the stage for their commanders. Jacob, playing Koma, Cosmos Serpent, started strong with both ramp and card draw on the table, thanks to an Arcane Signet and Mystic Remora. Jimmy, piloting the Magda, Brazen Outlaw deck, also had a good start, casting his commander early and generating treasure tokens. Rachel, playing Toski, Bearer of Secrets, focused on enchantments and token generation, casting a Verduran Enchantress. Josh, running Jorn, God of Winter, played Rhyme Tender to potentially double his mana every turn. The game progressed with active interaction and strategic plays.
