Sethron, Neheb the Eternal, Brokkos, Edric - #EDH Gameplay Ep 23

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Sethron, Hurloon General

  Utilizes minotaur tribal synergies combined with combo pieces like Dockside Extortionist and Cloudstone Curio to generate infinite or overwhelming value, aiming to close the game quickly through token generation and damage amplification with Purphoros.

• 

  Neheb, the Eternal

  Focused on an eggs-style mana combo that uses artifact sacrifice and mana generation to produce large amounts of red mana, enabling explosive turns and potential combo wins.

• 

  Brokkos, Apex of Forever

  Leverages infect creatures and spells like Tainted Strike to deliver poison counters rapidly, supported by ramp and recursion to maintain pressure and threaten one-shot kills.

• 

  Edric, Spymaster of Trest

  Plays a tempo and card draw game by attacking with evasive creatures to generate card advantage, using extra turn spells and disruption to maintain momentum and control the board.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Sethron’s early play of Universal Automaton was essential to his combo plan, signaling potential for an explosive turn later.

• 2

  Neheb’s repeated use of Sensei’s Divining Top and relics helped him dig for combo pieces but also slowed his development.

• 3

  Brokkos’ use of Tainted Strike on Sethron’s Taurean Mauler nearly secured a lethal infect kill, illustrating the threat of infect even in mid-game.

• 4

  Sethron’s decision to cast Fire Covenant as a board wipe after a failed combo attempt reset the board and allowed him to stabilize and regain control.

• 5

  The interaction around Rhystic Study triggers significantly influenced player decisions, affecting mana usage and spell timing.

• 6

  Baal’s attempt to protect Edric with Pyroblast was countered by Luis’s Negate, a critical disruption that delayed Edric’s potential extra turn plays.

• 7

  David’s suggestion to Sethron to attack Baal demonstrated table dynamics and strategic targeting to balance threats.

• 8

  Sethron’s eventual casting of Purphoros and Sethron himself generated multiple tokens and incremental damage, setting up a strong late-game winning position.
