Commander VS S6E4: Yisan vs Reya vs Dwynen vs Laquatus [MTG]

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen

  Elf tribal focused on mana ramp and boosting elves with lords, gaining life on attacks, and establishing an overwhelming board presence.

• 

  Yisan, the Wanderer Bard

  Ramp-heavy deck that accelerates land drops and uses Yisan's ability to tutor creatures of increasing power, aiming to cast big threats efficiently.

• 

  Reya Dawnbringer

  Angel tribal with strong board wipes and graveyard recursion to maintain a steady stream of threats and stabilize the board.

• 

  Ambassador Laquatus

  Mill-centric control deck using mill effects and artifacts like Grindclock and Bell Tower to mill large portions of opponents' libraries, aiming to win via decking them.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Laquatus's aggressive milling with cards like Grindclock and Bell Tower forced opponents to constantly respond to library depletion threats.

• 2

  Yisan's strategy to ramp lands quickly and tutor large creatures allowed for explosive mid-to-late game board states, challenging the slower angel and mill decks.

• 3

  Dwynen's elf tribal deck leveraged life gain on attacks and multiple elf lords to maintain pressure and survivability, making it difficult for Laquatus to mill effectively.

• 4

  Reya's ability to recur creatures each upkeep provided resilience against board wipes and mill, extending the game and creating repeated threats.

• 5

  The interaction between board wipes from Reya's deck and the build-up of elves and ramp creatures created dynamic shifts in board control.

• 6

  Laquatus's reliance on mill artifacts required careful timing and protection to maximize library depletion without losing control of the board.
