Sauron vs vadrik vs Heliod vs Sen triplets cEDH Gameplay

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Sen Triplets

  Control-oriented Dimir deck leveraging the Sen Triplets' ability to steal and play opponents' spells to disrupt and gain advantage, with a focus on slow, methodical value plays rather than quick combos.

• 

  Heliod, the Radiant Dawn

  A mono-white deck aiming to flip Heliod quickly and use its daytime/nighttime mechanics alongside wheel effects like Memory Jar and Twister to reset and gain card advantage, backed by strong interaction and mana ramp.

• 

  Sauron, Lord of the Rings

  Grixis-colored token and creature-based deck that generates incremental board presence through tokens and creatures like Orcish Bowmaster to grow an army for a commander-led win condition.

• 

  Vadrik, Astral Archmage

  A combo-centric deck focused on generating infinite mana using Breach and Oracle combos, with the goal of storming off and winning through large storm counts or infinite damage.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Early ramp and tutor sequences were critical for establishing board presence and enabling combo or control plays later in the game.

• 2

  The presence of Orcish Bowmaster and Ranger Captain created a soft lock that complicated players' ability to cast large spells or wheel effectively without triggering adverse effects.

• 3

  Heliod's player prioritized flipping the commander to gain access to powerful daytime abilities and wheel effects that could disrupt opponents' hands and board states.

• 4

  Vadrik's combo potential was hindered by opponents' disruption and the need to carefully time storm and interaction spells to avoid losing tempo or being locked out.

• 5

  Sen Triplets' approach of stealing key spells provided incremental advantage but was less aggressive, relying on patience and careful timing rather than immediate board impact.
