Commander Gameplay (Gone COMPETITIVE) | Winota VS Tishana VS Ikra / Rograkh VS Rocco

Deck Strategies

• 

  Winota, Joiner of Forces

• 

  Tishana, Voice of Thunder

  The Tishana deck aims to play a lot of elves, generate a lot of mana, and use that mana to create advantageous board states or set up for a big finish with cards like Finale of Devastation.

• 

  Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper and Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh

  This deck is a turbo list, aiming to generate lots of mana quickly and use that mana to set up powerful plays or combos, such as with Culling Ritual.

  Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer

  The Rocco deck is a combo deck, aiming to use cards like Food Chain, Eternal Scourge, and Kiki-Jiki to generate infinite combos and win the game.

Summary

The game was full of competitive play and strategic decisions, with each player leveraging their deck's strengths. Early in the game, Jerry, piloting the Tishana deck, played a Concordant Crossroads, giving all creatures haste. This move was quickly capitalized on by others, especially Eliot, who gained instant value out of his creatures. Alex, commanding Winota, managed to get an early Winota on the board and started attacking, putting pressure on the table. Jim, however, managed to execute a powerful play with Culling Ritual, wiping the board of many key low-cost permanents, generating a large amount of mana and setting himself up for future plays. Unfortunately, the transcript ends before the conclusion of the game could be determined.
