I Hate Your Deck #54 Sasaya v Osgir v Urza v Ezuri || Commander Gameplay MTG edh

Deck Strategies

• 

  Sasaya, Orochi Ascendant

  Ramp heavily with multiple lands to flip Sasaya into her powerful enchantment form, massively increasing mana output to cast huge spells and overwhelm opponents with massive creatures like giant bees.

• 

  Osgir, the Reconstructor

  Utilize artifact recursion and graveyard synergies to create token copies of artifacts, generate value, and assemble combos that can lead to extra turns and game-winning sequences.

• 

  Ezuri, Claw of Progress

  Build experience counters by playing low-power creatures, then use those counters to exponentially grow other creatures, applying steady pressure through combat damage.

• 

  Urza, Lord Protector

  Play a Planeswalker-focused deck that discounts artifacts, instants, and sorceries, uses equipment to animate planeswalkers as attackers, and melds into a formidable Urza planeswalker to control the board with powerful loyalty abilities.

Summary

The game featured four distinct decks led by commanders Sasaya, Orochi Ascendant, Osgir the Reconstructor, Ezuri, Claw of Progress, and Urza, Lord Protector, each pursuing unique strategies that shaped the flow of the match. Early turns involved establishing board presence and ramping mana, with Sasaya focusing on quickly flipping into her enchantment form to massively amplify mana production with multiple lands, enabling explosive plays. Meanwhile, Urza’s Planeswalker-centric deck aimed to leverage artifact synergy and discount spells to control the game and eventually meld into a powerful Urza planeswalker, capable of wiping the board and generating value through loyalty abilities. Ezuri attempted to build up experience counters by deploying small creatures to grow threats exponentially, while Osgir specialized in artifact recursion and token generation, setting up combos with graveyard interactions and extra turns to overwhelm opponents.
