Turn Order Matters - Cedh Gameplay - Kinnan Vs Najeela Vs Tivit Vs Muldrotha

Summary

The game started off with all players setting up their boards, with a particularly impactful early game event being the casting and protection of Dan's Sol Ring. This allowed him to ramp up quickly and get ahead in terms of mana resources. There were some key attempts at board control, such as Elijah's Rhystic Study and Hidden's Mystic Remora, which allowed them to draw cards whenever their opponents cast spells. However, the match took a significant turn when Dan managed to recast his commander, Kinnan, despite attempts from other players to control the board and remove threats. This allowed him to generate vast amounts of mana and put a significant pressure on the board. The game concluded with Hidden's impressive attack, which resulted in Elijah's elimination from the game.

Deck Strategies

• 

  Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy

  This deck aims to generate massive amounts of mana using Kinnan's ability to double the mana produced by nonland permanents, and then use this mana to out-value opponents and create a dominating board presence.

• 

  Muldrotha, the Gravetide

  Muldrotha's strategy revolves around filling its graveyard to gain advantage and access to multiple combos within its color identity.

• 

  Najeela, the Blade-Blossom

  Najeela's deck aims to flood the board with warrior tokens while looking for opportunities to combo kill out of nowhere.

• 

  Tivit, Seller of Secrets

  Tivit's strategy is not clearly defined in the transcript, but since the player was able to generate a large number of tokens, it's likely that the deck is built around creating and leveraging these tokens for advantage.
