Deck & Commander Strategies
Prossh, Skyraider of Kher
Build a resilient board with tokens and creatures, ramp consistently to generate mana, and leverage combat damage and synergy to overwhelm opponents. The deck focuses on incremental value and maintaining pressure, with some ability to disrupt opponents' plans.
Tymna the Weaver and Thrasios, Triton Hero
Utilize a storm combo approach that relies on drawing multiple cards, using tutors to find key combo pieces, and generating a high storm count to deal lethal damage in a single turn. The deck leverages efficient mana usage and card advantage engines to assemble and execute a fast, game-ending combo.

- 2
The storm player’s use of multiple tutors and fetch lands to assemble combo pieces demonstrated the importance of deck manipulation in combo decks.
- 3
Timing of damage prevention effects and board wipes was critical for Prossh, but the storm deck’s ability to generate poison and unblockable damage bypassed these defenses.
- 4
The storm player effectively managed resource sequencing to maximize storm count while avoiding unnecessary mana or card use prematurely.

Gameplay Summary
The game started with both players developing their boards and setting up their strategies.
The Prossh player focused on a slower but more consistent version of the deck, foregoing some of the faster mana acceleration to prioritize reliable ramp and card draw.
Prossh used creatures and token generation to build board presence while trying to avoid early disruption.
Meanwhile, the opponent piloting the Tymna and Thrasios storm combo deck worked to assemble key combo pieces, leveraging card draw, fetch lands, and tutors to find their win conditions.
The storm player carefully managed resources and maintained tempo, looking for the right moment to execute their combo. As the game progressed, Prossh attempted to apply pressure through aggressive combat and damage prevention effects, but the storm deck's ability to dig through its library and find critical cards made it difficult for Prossh to stabilize.
Notable interactions included the storm player using a combination of card draw, tutors, and spells to assemble a lethal sequence while Prossh tried to disrupt and block damage.
Ultimately, the storm player successfully executed their combo, generating enough storm count and damage output to win the game despite Prossh's efforts to prevent damage and clear the board.
The match highlighted the tension between Prossh's resilient board and the storm deck's explosive potential.
