Deck Strategies

• 

  Titania, Protector of Argoth

  Focuses on landfall and graveyard recursion, generating value by animating lands and producing large threats through recurring lands from the graveyard.

• 

  Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker

  Utilizes a control shell with disruption elements and card advantage from opponents' libraries. It aims to control the board while draining opponents' resources.

• 

  Xenagos, God of Revels

  A red-green aggro-ramp deck that boosts creatures with Xenagos' ability and uses aggressive creature attacks to overwhelm opponents quickly.

• 

  Scion of the Ur-Dragon

  A five-color Dragon tribal deck that ramps quickly into powerful Dragonlords and uses synergies to generate card advantage and multiple combat steps for lethal damage.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  The board wipe with Blasphemous Act was pivotal, removing early board states and forcing players to rebuild, which benefited the Dragon tribal deck by allowing it to drop powerful threats uncontested.

• 2

  Matt capitalized on Dragon synergies by casting multiple Dragonlords in succession, triggering ascendancy effects to draw cards and create an overwhelming board presence.

• 3

  Trevor's use of Zenos the Reveler to pump creatures and gain multiple combat phases added pressure but was countered by timely fog effects preventing lethal infect damage.

• 4

  Mike's use of disruption such as Path to Exile and Undermine effectively slowed down opponents' key plays, particularly countering Rishkar's Expertise to prevent card draw and board development.

• 5

  The interaction between multiple players' library manipulation and card draw effects was crucial, especially Trevor’s stacking of library triggers to ensure optimal draws for his plays.

Summary

The game began with each player developing their board and ramping mana through various means such as mana dorks, ramp spells, and artifact mana. Early board presence was established with creatures like Tireless Tracker and Shadow Mage Infiltrator, while players used card advantage tools like Sylvan Library and Chromatic Lantern to smooth out draws and mana bases. A major turning point occurred when a Blasphemous Act wiped the board, resetting the board state and allowing players to rebuild with fresh strategies. Following the board wipe, Matt's Scion of the Ur-Dragon deck began to gain momentum by casting powerful Dragonlords such as Atarka and Bladewing the Risen, leveraging Dragon synergies and card draw from Dragon Tempest and Dragonlord Atarka's triggers to pressure opponents with large flying threats and multiple combat phases.
