Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Ramos, Dragon Engine

  Ramp mana aggressively and cast multicolored spells to accumulate +1/+1 counters on Ramos, then use his ability to generate large mana bursts for powerful spells or combos.

• 

  Kresh the Bloodbraided

  Build a strong creature board with group-hug and sacrifice synergies, growing Kresh by sacrificing creatures and eventually fling huge damage at opponents.

• 

  Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer

  Utilize morph and manifest mechanics to create unpredictable threats, generate value from casting spells that trigger Kadena’s abilities, and out-tempo opponents with surprise creatures.

• 

  Torbran, Thane of Red Fell

  Apply steady pressure with burn spells and red damage amplification, aiming to close out the game quickly with efficient damage output.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  The Ramos player prioritized ramp and board control tools early, setting up for explosive mana generation through Sunforger, showing a preference for a combo/control hybrid.

• 2

  Kresh’s ramp with Wood Elves and creature sacrifice threats indicated a plan to build a large board presence that could quickly turn lethal by flinging creatures.

• 3

  Kadena’s use of morph and manifest added an element of unpredictability, forcing opponents to guess the nature of hidden creatures and spells, which can disrupt combat and block strategies.

• 4

  Torbran’s player leveraged classic red damage amplification strategies, focusing on maximizing damage output to finish opponents fast, putting pressure on other players to respond quickly.

  Early mana development and land fetching with Fabled Passage and ramp creatures like Wood Elves were crucial to enabling each deck’s midgame power plays.
