Deck Strategies

• 

  Tymna the Weaver & Dargo, the Shipwrecker

  A combo ramp deck focused on explosive mana generation with Kodama triggers and Finale of Devastation to find combo pieces, with Sakashima enabling copying of key creatures like Jhoira for additional value.

• 

  Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain

  A spell-heavy artifact combo deck that leverages Jhoira's card draw triggers with artifacts like Jeweled Lotus, Artificer's Assistant, and Experimental Synthesizer to generate card advantage and storm off with spells like Muddle the Mixture and Red Elemental Blast for interaction.

  The Beamtown Bullies

  A value and tempo deck that uses powerful creatures like Opposition Agent and Deathrite Shaman to disrupt opponents while applying pressure, combined with graveyard synergies and mana acceleration to support the board state.

Summary

The game began with aggressive ramp and early board development from all players, featuring Kodama of the East Tree enabling explosive plays, Jhoira generating card advantage, and The Beamtown Bullies establishing board presence. Early threats like Dockside Extortionist and Serra Ascendant shaped initial combat phases, while multiple players set up combo engines. Diogo's Tymna & Dargo deck showcased its recursive sacrifice loops and storm potential, leveraging cards like Burnt Offering and Sacrifice to generate mana and card draws. Baal's Jhoira deck used Artificer's Assistant and Experimental Synthesizer to maintain card flow, while Dante's Simic Doom Tree strove for explosive Finale of Devastation combos, though was slowed by Opposition Agent disrupting key plays. Rodrigo's Beamtown Bullies applied pressure and utilized graveyard interactions to maintain tempo.
