WNL 41 With Jan @TheSpikeFeeders Live Commander Gameplay | MTG EDH

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Anax, Hardened in the Forge

  A mono-red deck that leverages aggressive creatures and interactive spells, including mass land destruction elements, to overwhelm opponents and control the pace of the game.

• 

  Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons

  Builds a board presence with -1/-1 counters and snake tokens, using poisonous creatures and incremental value to wear down opponents and maintain board control.

• 

  Veyran, Voice of Duality

  A spell-heavy deck that exploits magecraft triggers by casting multiple instants and sorceries to generate value and incremental advantage, aiming for a spell-slinging win.

• 

  Zaxara, the Exemplary

  Utilizes X-spells to gain value and cast large hydras, focusing on ramp and interactive plays to eventually close the game with big creatures.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Early game ramp and land plays were crucial for enabling high-impact X-spells and large creature casts later in the game.

• 2

  Veyran’s doubling of magecraft triggers incentivized casting multiple cheap spells to build up incremental advantage.

• 3

  Anax’s inclusion of mass land destruction threats added tension and forced opponents to carefully consider their board development.

• 4

  Zaxara’s strategy focused on interactive plays with X-spells to gain both value and board presence, avoiding self-mill combos for a more engaging playstyle.

• 5

  Players were mindful of timing attacks and spell casting to maximize triggers and minimize risk from counter plays.
