Deck & Commander Strategies
Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh & Silas Renn, Seeker Adept
A fast storm deck that leverages ritual effects and wheel effects to build mana and card advantage for a lethal combo finish, utilizing tutors and interaction to protect the combo.
Tymna the Weaver & Dargo, the Shipwrecker
A midrange deck that uses efficient creatures and combat damage to draw cards while accelerating mana for powerful spells and combos, aiming to control the board and close the game with combat damage and spells.
Cormela, Glamour Thief
A control-oriented deck that uses artifact synergy, tutors, and flicker effects to disrupt opponents and generate incremental advantages, focusing on stealing or reusing powerful permanents and comboing with key artifacts.
Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger
A grindy, recursive discard deck that uses Kroxa’s ability to force opponents to discard while recurring threats and leveraging discard synergies to maintain pressure and eventually win through attrition or combo finish.

Gameplay Summary
The game featured four competitive decks led by Rograkh & Silas, Tymna & Dargo, Cormela, and Kroxa.
Early turns focused heavily on ramping mana and setting up key artifacts and creatures.
Tymna & Dargo leveraged a combination of mana acceleration and card draw spells to establish board presence and pressure.
