Deck & Commander Strategies
Omnath, Locus of Creation
Jake's strategy was to exploit Omnath's landfall ability by mutating Omnath to make it non-legendary and then cloning it to create multiple Omnaths. With enough land drops and ramp spells, the goal was to increase life total, fill the mana pool, and deal damage to opponents.
Isshin, Two Heavens as One
Ladee's deck revolved around maximizing the value from Isshin's attack triggers, using early aggressive threats and late-game heavyweights to seize victory.
Chainer, Dementia Master
Jimmy's Chainer deck aimed to reanimate creatures from any graveyard, setting up powerful ETB and death triggers. The goal was to establish a loop of creatures entering and leaving the battlefield and drain the opponents' life totals.
Svella, Ice Shaper
Murph's deck focused on generating snow mana with Svella and other ramp pieces, then using that mana to summon large creatures to overpower opponents.
