Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Syr Konrad, the Grim

  Leverage creature deaths in all graveyards to deal damage to opponents and control the board by punishing mass creature losses, aiming to win by draining opponents’ life through repeated triggers.

• 

  Oloro, Ageless Ascetic

  Gain incremental life each turn to stabilize and outlast opponents while using card draw and control elements to maintain board presence and win through attrition or alternate life-based win conditions.

• 

  Esix, Fractal Bloom

  Generate and copy a variety of creature tokens using Esix’s cloning ability to outvalue opponents, adapt to threats, and establish overwhelming board presence that can lead to victory.

• 

  Samut, Voice of Dissent

  Use flash to cast creatures at instant speed, equip powerful artifacts to them, and apply constant combat pressure with aggressive attacks, aiming to reduce opponents’ life totals quickly through combat damage.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Syr Konrad’s ability to deal damage whenever creatures die forced opponents to be cautious with their board development and led to significant life loss for multiple players simultaneously.

• 2

  Esix’s cloning ability allowed him to create copies of key creatures, enabling flexible responses and maintaining board advantage even after board wipes or removal.

• 3

  Oloro’s steady life gain provided resilience against aggressive strategies, allowing him to survive early threats and build toward a late-game win condition.

• 4

  Samut’s use of flash and equipment maximized combat effectiveness, enabling surprise blockers and attackers that kept opponents off balance.

• 5

  The interaction between graveyard-focused damage triggers and token token generation created a complex battlefield state where timing and sequencing of spells were critical.

• 6

  Players balanced aggressive attacks with defensive plays, carefully managing life totals and resources to avoid giving Syr Konrad too many opportunities to capitalize on creature deaths.
