Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Selvala, Heart of the Wilds

  Focuses on a ramp-heavy, combo-oriented game plan, often using creatures like Allosaurus Shepherd to bypass disruption and generate large amounts of mana to fuel powerful spells and combos.

• 

  Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer

  An aggressive, mono-red tempo deck that aims to disrupt opponents early with Ragavan's ability and generate fast mana and card advantage, though vulnerable to early removal.

• 

  K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth

  A mono-black control-combo deck that uses Dark Depths and other combos to finish the game, backed by efficient removal and disruption to control the board and protect its key pieces.

• 

  Emrakul, the Promised End

  A ramp and Eldrazi-focused deck that aims to cast large threats early to overwhelm opponents, leveraging Eldrazi's raw power and resilience to take control of the game.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  The early Chalice of the Void on one effectively shut down many low-cost spells, heavily influencing the early game tempo and forcing players to find ways around it.

• 2

  K'rrik's deck leveraged efficient removal and disruption, such as Wasteland to target mana rocks, to slow down ramp-focused opponents and protect its combo pieces.

• 3

  Selvala's Allosaurus Shepherd allowed her to circumvent Chalice of the Void's restrictions, enabling her to keep applying pressure despite the disruption.

• 4

  Emrakul's player capitalized on fast ramp and Eldrazi threats to establish a dominant board state quickly, putting immense pressure on the slower combo decks.

• 5

  Ragavan's early removal and disruption prevented it from having a significant impact, illustrating the vulnerability of aggressive tempo decks to targeted hate in multiplayer formats.

• 6

  The interaction between Dark Depths and other combo pieces was a central theme, but the presence of Eldrazi threats and control elements complicated the execution of combo wins.
