Deck Strategies

• 

  Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls

  The deck aims to provide opponents with resources such as card draw and mana, but at a cost of damage and pain.

• 

  Aminatou, the Fateshifter

  The deck manipulates the top of the library to gain advantages and potentially set up for alternate win conditions.

• 

  Nethroi, Apex of Death

  This Abzan Aristocrats deck is designed around the modular mechanic, accumulating +1/+1 counters on creatures and then using mutation to bring them back.

• 

  Cosima, God of the Voyage // The Omenkeel

  The deck primarily uses The Omenkeel, a vehicle that exiles the top cards of an opponent's library when it deals combat damage, allowing the player to play lands from the exiled cards.

Summary

The game starts off with players introducing their decks and commanders. Vince's Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls deck aims to give resources to opponents at the cost of damage and pain. Jim plays an Abzan Aristocrats deck with Nethroi, Apex of Death as commander, focusing on the modular mechanic and mutation. The Omenkeel is played early in the game, dealing damage and causing the top cards of opponents' libraries to be exiled. Vince's Sisay's Bowmaster attempts to control the board by targeting creatures, but Jim's Kenrith's Transformation turns it into a harmless elk. Meanwhile, Aminatou, the Fateshifter is played and starts to manipulate the top of the library. However, the game is still far from over with many interactions and strategies yet to unfold.
