(EDH) Azusa Vs Hazezon Vs Ghired Vs Krenko - Commander Gameplay Ep.29 (With Chain and BT Gamenight!)

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Azusa, Lost but Seeking

  Ramp aggressively by playing multiple lands each turn to generate elemental tokens with landfall triggers, using spells like Sigarda's Horizon and Arc of Veraska to accelerate mana and card draw, aiming to overwhelm opponents through a growing board and landfall synergies.

• 

  Ghired, Conclave Exile

  Create larger rhino tokens and use token doubling effects like Anointed Procession to populate and multiply tokens. Combine this with burn effects from Warstorm Surge and Terror of the Peaks to control the board and finish opponents with direct damage and overwhelming token presence.

• 

  Krenko, Mob Boss

  Explode early with goblin token generation using creatures like Goblin Lackey, Beetleback Chief, and Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, leveraging mana acceleration from Ruby Medallion to generate a massive army quickly and win with overwhelming combat damage or burn spells like Fervor and Throne of the God-Pharaoh.

• 

  Hazezon Tamar

  Swarm the battlefield with many small tokens by exploiting landfall triggers combined with token generators such as Voice of Plenty and Sakura-Tribe Elder. Build a wide board to apply pressure and capitalize on incremental value from token synergies.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Krenko's early token generation was turbocharged by Goblin Lackey and Beetleback Chief, enabling explosive token creation and early combat threats.

• 2

  Azusa’s strategy of ramping and seeking lands each turn allowed steady token production but struggled against board wipes.

• 3

  Ghired’s use of Garruk's Belligerence to clear opposing tokens while populating twice as many rhinos with Anointed Procession decisively swung the game in his favor.

• 4

  Deflecting Swat was used strategically to redirect a burn spell targeting a critical mana source, preserving key ramp elements.

• 5

  Despite Krenko’s early aggression, the board wipe and token multiplication effects from Ghired led to a dominant late-game presence that forced concessions.
