Deck & Commander Strategies
Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy
Focuses on ramping mana by utilizing noncreature artifacts to generate large amounts of green and blue mana, enabling powerful spells and combos early.
Vivi Ornitier
Relies on artifact mana acceleration and drawing cards through artifact-based engines, aiming to control the board and find combo pieces.
Magda, Brazen Outlaw
Utilizes artifact synergies and treasure generation to create infinite loops involving crewing artifacts and generating treasures, leading to overwhelming mana and board presence.
Y'shtola, Night's Blessed
Plays a control-oriented game using disruption and versatile creature theft tools like Gilded Drake, backed by counterspells to stall opponents and gain advantage.
Gameplay Insights
- 1
Magda's infinite loop with Roaming Throne and Clown Car was the game's decisive turning point, generating infinite treasures and crew triggers to win.
- 2
Kinnan's early ramp with One Ring set a solid foundation, but lack of interaction left him vulnerable to Magda's combo.
- 3
Y'shtola's control tools, including Gilded Drake and counterspells, were not sufficient to disrupt the infinite combo due to limited counterspell availability and timing.
- 4
Vivi's artifact mana and draw setup provided potential for control and combo, but without interaction or a fast kill, was outpaced by Magda's explosive plays.
- 5
Choosing to not crew or activate certain artifacts early delayed Magda's combo but ultimately did not prevent it from resolving.

Gameplay Summary
The game started with each player keeping a variety of hands that set up their respective strategies—Kinnan aiming for mana acceleration with artifacts like Soul Ring and One Ring, Vivi with a focus on artifact mana and draw engines such as Grim Monolith and Harmonic Prodigy, Magda looking to generate treasures and leverage artifact synergies, and Y'shtola setting up control with cards like Gilded Drake and counterspells.
Early turns saw players developing their boards cautiously, with Kinnan ramping into One Ring and Vivi assembling artifact mana sources.
Magda quickly established an artifact-based board state, including the Roaming Throne and Clown Car, preparing for a potential combo.
