Deck & Commander Strategies
Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful and Tana, the Bloodsower
This deck focuses on aggressive token generation and synergy between Yoshimaru and Tana to quickly produce a large number of creatures that can swarm opponents. It aims to overwhelm with wide board presence and combat damage, often leveraging combat tricks and anthem effects to enhance tokens.
Feldon, Ronom Excavator
Feldon’s deck is centered around graveyard recursion, reanimating powerful creatures from the graveyard to maintain board presence. It uses equipment and creature synergies to build resilient threats and grind out value in longer, more controlling games.

Gameplay Summary
The video features a three-game Duel Commander match between a Yoshimaru/Tana aggressive token-based deck and a Feldon reanimator deck.
The first game showcased Yoshimaru and Tana leveraging their synergy to flood the board with tokens quickly, applying early pressure and forcing Feldon to respond defensively.
Feldon focused on recurring key creatures from the graveyard to stabilize but struggled to keep pace with the rapid token generation and growing board state.
In the second game, Feldon managed to establish a stronger board presence through efficient reanimation and equipment plays, creating resilient threats that challenged Yoshimaru and Tana’s aggression.
However, the token swarm and combat tricks kept the pressure high, leading to a tight back-and-forth.
The final game saw a critical turning point when Yoshimaru and Tana’s deck capitalized on a well-timed board wipe to reset Feldon’s graveyard interactions and rebuild a dominating token army.
Ultimately, Yoshimaru and Tana’s relentless token production and aggressive tempo overwhelmed Feldon’s slower, grindier strategy, securing the victory through wide board presence and incremental damage.
