Commander VS Conspiracy: Marchesa vs Adriana vs Leovold vs Selvala

The game unfolds on the plane of Phyrexia with four players vying for control of the monarchy using commanders Queen Marchesa, Adriana, Captain of the Guard, Leovold, Emissary of Trest, and Selvala, Heart of the Wilds.

Queen Marchesa's deck is heavily themed around the monarch mechanic, aiming to maintain and leverage the monarch status to gain incremental advantages and board control.

Adriana's deck focuses on the new melee mechanic, which rewards attacking multiple opponents by boosting creatures' power and toughness, encouraging aggressive combat strategies.

Selvala's deck is designed to ramp mana and draw cards through the power of creatures entering the battlefield, providing fuel for big plays and maintaining pressure.

Leovold's deck centers on restricting opponents' card draw while generating card advantage through targeted spells and abilities, often leveraging disruptive elements like the Faerie's Puzzle Box to control the game flow. Early turns see typical resource development and board setup, with Queen Marchesa successfully becoming the first monarch, enabling her to capitalize on her deck's synergy.

Players engage in a strategic balance of aggression and defense, with Adriana attempting to push melee attacks to grow her creatures, while Leovold works to limit opponents' draw and maintain card advantage.

Selvala's large creatures and mana ramp threaten to overwhelm the table if unchecked.

Key moments include the use of Land Tax to stabilize mana bases and the deployment of efficient creatures like Duskwatch Recruiter to deepen board presence.

The dynamic interplay between attacking to gain the monarchy, restricting draws, and ramping mana provides ongoing tension as each player tries to seize control and leverage their deck's strengths toward victory.
