Deck & Commander Strategies
Lumra, Bellow of the Woods
Focuses on landfall and land synergy, playing numerous lands including those entering tapped, to generate incremental value and control the board with land-based interactions.
Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy
Ramp-heavy deck aiming to produce large amounts of mana quickly and generate overwhelming card advantage through Kinnan’s ability to double mana from nonbasic lands.
Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh and Thrasios, Triton Hero
A fast Cradle-based mana acceleration strategy that uses aggressive mana dorks and artifact synergies to generate significant mana and pressure opponents early.
-
Tymna the Weaver and Thrasios, Triton Hero
Typical cEDH shell combining disruption, card draw, and incremental advantage through low-cost efficient creatures and spells.

Gameplay Summary
The game started with each player setting up their mana base and early plays, focusing heavily on land drops and ramp.
Lumra's deck played a slow but potent land synergy strategy, repeatedly putting lands into play, including some that entered tapped, which slowed down interaction but helped set up powerful plays later.
Kinnan's deck focused on explosive mana production and value generation, aiming to leverage his ability to generate huge amounts of mana and draw cards quickly.
Rograkh paired with Thrasios employed a fast, aggressive Cradle combo strategy, trying to accelerate mana and pressure the board early.
Tymna and Thrasios combined typical cEDH disruption and card advantage elements. Key turning points included successful early ramp and value plays by Kinnan, which threatened to overwhelm the table with mana and card advantage.
Lumra's land-based strategy gained incremental advantage through repeated land drops and interactions that disrupted opponents' plans.
Rograkh attempted to accelerate mana with the help of artifact synergy and mana dorks but faced disruption from opponents.
The game saw several interaction attempts including countermagic and tempo plays, notably a Mindbreak Trap used to counter a powerful Configuration, preventing a likely game-winning draw engine from resolving.
Ultimately, Lumra managed to leverage her land-based value engine and incremental advantage to seize control and secure the win, capitalizing on board presence and mana resources while opponents struggled with tempo and disruption.
