Deck & Commander Strategies
Ragost, Deft Gastronaut
Uses artifacts as food tokens to repeatedly sacrifice for damage to opponents, aiming to control the board and chip away life totals through incremental damage and synergy with artifacts.
Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought
Not explicitly detailed in the gameplay, but likely focused on aggressive artifact and creature synergy with board presence and damage output.
Infinite Guideline Station
Leverages multicolor permanents to create a large number of artifact creature tokens and uses the Station ability to crew and generate large amounts of mana, aiming to overwhelm opponents with tokens and resource advantage.
Kilo, Apogee Mind
Focuses on artifact synergies, proliferate mechanics, and untapping creatures repeatedly to gain incremental advantages and maintain board control, supported by equipment and token generation.
Gameplay Insights
- 1
Ragost's ability to sacrifice food tokens for damage created a slow but steady pressure on opponents, forcing them to respond or lose life gradually.
- 2
Kilo's use of proliferate combined with artifact untapping and equipment such as Katakus, Staff of Hermes, enabled repeated value generation and board control.
- 3
Infinite Guideline Station's token creation scaled with multicolor permanents, generating a large flying board that demanded attention.
- 4
The use of Tesaret, Cruel Captain to proliferate whenever artifacts entered the battlefield synergized well with artifact-heavy decks, maximizing counters and mana production.
- 5
The introduction of new mechanics like Station and the interaction with cards like End Stone added unique strategic layers, such as managing life totals and generating large amounts of mana through charge counters.

Gameplay Summary
The game began with all four players developing their boards with ramp, artifacts, and early creatures, setting up their respective strategies.
Ragost, Deft Gastronaut focused on leveraging his ability to turn artifacts into food tokens and then sacrifice those foods to deal damage to opponents, building up a steady source of incremental damage.
Kilo, Apogee Mind utilized artifact synergies, including Clock of Omens and proliferate effects, to generate value and untap key creatures multiple times, while also slowly building a board presence with tokens and equipment.
Infinite Guideline Station aimed to generate numerous artifact creature tokens based on the number of multicolor permanents, creating a wide board state with flying threats.
