Grix with only stax and ramp Jeleve vs Kalamax vs Malcom & Tana vs Tivit cEDH gameplay

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge

  Utilizes stax effects and ramp to disrupt opponents' resources and accelerate Jeleva's own game plan, focusing on exile-based library disruption rather than direct combos.

• 

  Kalamax, the Stormsire

  Storm combo deck leveraging artifact and spell synergies with powerful tutors and draw spells to assemble lethal storm counts and finish with commander damage.

• 

  Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator and Tana, the Bloodsower

  Treasure and token generation combined with combat damage to ramp quickly and apply pressure, enabling a pirate-themed combo finish.

• 

  Tivit, Seller of Secrets

  Control and disruption-focused deck using counterspells and interaction to protect its game plan and hinder opponents, while slowly accumulating advantage.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Using Mana Drain to protect Jeleva and cast key spells disrupted opponents' combo attempts and bought critical time.

• 2

  Failing to resolve the Blasphemous Act board wipe due to Snapcaster Mage allowed Kalamax to maintain pressure and recover quickly.

• 3

  Copying and countering key spells like Dig Through Time and Narset's Reversal were pivotal in slowing down Kalamax’s storm engine.

• 4

  Jeleva's exile-based stax approach was effective at resource denial but struggled to keep pace with fast storm and treasure ramp decks in the late game.

• 5

  The interaction between Malcolm generating treasures and Tana producing tokens created significant mana acceleration, posing a continuous threat alongside Kalamax’s storm strategy.
