Deck Strategies

  Tovolar, Dire Overlord

• 

  Ezuri, Renegade Leader

  This deck focuses on ramping quickly with elves, then using Ezuri's abilities to buff them and swing for massive damage. The game plan also includes drawing cards when casting elf spells.

• 

  Rin and Seri, Inseparable

  The strategy is to flood the board with dog and cat tokens, using Rin and Seri's ability to either deal massive damage or gain substantial life. The deck also looks to leverage tribal synergies.

• 

  Alela, Artful Provocateur

  The Alela deck seeks to cast a lot of artifacts and enchantments, generating fairy tokens with each cast. With Alela's other abilities, these fairies can become substantial threats.

Summary

The game kicked off with aggressive moves from Dana, piloting Ezuri, Renegade Leader. She quickly established a formidable board presence with mana-producing elves and lords, which allowed her to ramp and increase her elves' power. However, her early aggression made her a target, and her pivotal Archdruid was swiftly dealt with by a Crib Swap from Adam, playing Rin and Seri, Inseparable. Carlos, commanding Tovolar, Dire Overlord, managed to get his commander out on the field, utilizing its ability to draw cards whenever a wolf or werewolf he controlled dealt combat damage. Marie, running Alela, Artful Provocateur, was able to get her commander out as well, setting up for future fairy token generation.
