Deck Strategies
Omo, Queen of Vesuva
Utilizes 'everything counters' to make lands count as every land type and creatures count as every creature type, enabling powerful land and tribal synergies.
Disa the Restless
Focuses on graveyard recursion and token generation by putting cards into play when permanents leave the battlefield and creating tokens on combat damage.
Ulalek, Fused Atrocity
Leverages Eldrazi spellcasting triggers and copies spells and abilities to generate multiple Eldrazi tokens and maximize value from casting Eldrazi spells.
Satya, Aetherflux Genius
Builds an energy resource engine through combat and token creation by copying creatures, aiming to maintain pressure and generate value with artifacts and energy.
Gameplay Insights
- 1
Omo’s 'everything counters' ability only functions while Omo is on the battlefield, requiring protection or re-casting to maintain the beneficial land and creature type changes.
- 2
Disa’s ability to put permanents into play from the graveyard when they leave the battlefield allows for continuous board presence and synergy with sacrifice or removal effects.
- 3
Ulalek’s triggered ability enables copying of spells and triggered abilities, which is crucial because Eldrazi spells gain value from casting triggers that normally wouldn’t copy themselves.
- 4
Satya’s token copying mechanic generates energy that can be spent to keep tokens from being sacrificed, balancing aggressive board presence with resource management.
- 5
Players carefully mulliganed and prioritized mana base development to support their decks’ color demands, with Ulalek’s deck focusing heavily on colorless mana sources.
- 6
Early plays like Glaring Flesh Raker’s damage trigger and Sakura-Tribe Elder’s ramp supported board development and tempo maintenance across the table.
