Sliver Queen v Reaper King v Karona v Kenrith | DCL S4:E7 | IRL MTG EDH Gameplay by KingdomsTV

Deck Strategies

• 

  Kenrith, the Returned King

  This deck is set up to make use of Zerta, the Dawnwaker to reduce activated abilities, which in turn helps generate infinite mana. The infinite mana is then used to fuel Kenrith's abilities for a game-winning combo.

• 

  Karona, False God

  This deck is built as an enchantment-focused deck rather than a tribal build. It aims to manipulate combat using goad mechanics, likely steering opponents' threats away.

• 

  Sliver Queen

  The goal of this deck is to go infinite with a combo involving Sliver Queen. It also leverages cards like Guardian Project and Rhystic Study for card draw engine.

• 

  Reaper King

  This deck was described as a five-color goblin deck with janky combos. The strategy seems to revolve around generating value from Reaper King's destructive enter-the-battlefield ability.

Gameplay Insights

  Carlos was in a difficult position with Sliver Queen due to a lack of land draws, which limited his ability to establish a board presence and potentially execute his combo.

• 2

  Jeff's strategic use of tutors indicated a potential combo setup, putting the other players on high alert. His strategy to generate infinite colorless mana with Kenrith and Zerta posed a significant threat.

• 3

  Dylan and Spencer were in a reactive position due to the looming threat of Jeff's potential combo. This highlights the importance of interaction in Commander games, especially when playing against combo heavy decks.

Summary

The game kicked off with players focusing on developing their board state and mana base, showing signs of high power-level gameplay. Notably, Carlos playing the Sliver Queen deck didn't have a smooth start with a lack of land draws. Expectations were high from Jeff who piloted Kenrith, the Returned King, and showed signs of a combo setup by tutoring for Zerta, the Dawnwaker and an unknown card using Demonic Tutor. The board tension was high as players were aware of imminent infinite combo possibilities. Unfortunately, the transcript cut off before we could see the final outcome.
