Deck & Commander Strategies
Omnath, Locus of All
Ramp aggressively with mana-producing lands and creatures to cast Omnath and leverage landfall triggers for value and board presence.
Kambal, Profiteering Mayor
Generate tokens and life gain through taxing opponents on noncreature spells and using token synergies to build board advantage.
Aurelia, the Law Above
Deploy an aggressive Boros Humans tribal with haste enablers to apply early pressure and push through damage quickly.
Bernard, Ginger Sculptor
Sacrifice own creatures to create tokens and gain value from death triggers, aiming to overwhelm opponents with a token army.
Gameplay Insights
- 1
Using Contraband Kingpin to exile Omnath slowed down the ramp player’s tempo and generated tokens for the exiling player, shifting board dynamics.
- 2
Authority of the Consuls was effective in slowing down aggressive creature deployment by making creatures enter tapped and gaining life per opponent creature.
- 3
Sequencing mana plays carefully allowed Omnath’s player to cast their commander despite a complex four-color mana base.
- 4
The Boros player leveraged haste granted by Boros Guildmage to increase pressure with multiple attackers early on.
- 5
Token generation and sacrifice synergies provided a slow but steady board presence for Bernard’s deck, though it was struggling to impact the game early.

Gameplay Summary
The game began with a relatively slow and fair setup from all players, establishing their mana bases and deploying early utility creatures and enchantments.
Omnath's player focused on ramping with lands and mana dorks like Birds of Paradise and Llanowar Elves, while the Kambal player set up life gain and token synergies.
Aurelia's Boros Humans deck attempted to pressure opponents with aggressive creatures and haste enablers, and Bernard's token-centric deck sought to leverage sacrificing creatures for value and board presence. As the game progressed, key plays included the casting of Authority of the Consuls to slow down aggressive strategies and gain incremental life, and Contraband Kingpin’s ability to exile creatures and generate tokens via a dice roll, impacting Omnath’s board state.
Omnath’s player had to carefully sequence mana and lands to enable casting their commander and maintain board presence despite disruption.
Bernard’s deck showed potential for creating large token armies by sacrificing creatures, but was limited in board impact early on.
The Boros deck pushed damage through multiple attackers but lacked overwhelming board control.
The game featured a complex interplay of token generation, life gain, and tempo plays, with no immediate decisive win condition emerging early in the match.
