Deck Strategies

  • Kyler, Sigardian Emissary

    Kyler, Sigardian Emissary

    Focuses on putting +1/+1 counters on large creatures to grow them tall, supported by ramp and artifact mana to cast big threats and spells that enhance counters.

  • Aeve, Progenitor Ooze

    Aeve, Progenitor Ooze

    Aims to generate multiple ooze and slime creatures, grow them with +1/+1 counters, and leverage combat damage to overwhelm opponents.

  • Breena, the Demagogue

    Breena, the Demagogue

    Plays a pillow fort style game, making it costly to attack Breena while buffing opponents' creatures to encourage fighting amongst others, eventually winning through overwhelming token swarms.

  • Volo, Guide to Monsters

    Volo, Guide to Monsters

    Uses Volo's ability to copy creature spells and gain double value from creatures entering the battlefield, generating tokens and card draw to build a dominant board.

Gameplay Insights

  • 1

    Kel's early ramp and Hardened Scales enabled explosive growth of a single large creature, forcing opponents to respond to a big threat.

  • 2

    Dr Screw's pillow fort with Windborn Muse and Norn's Annex effectively deterred attacks, allowing him to safely build a massive token army.

  • 3

    Volo's token generation with Myr Battlesphere and clever use of Return of the Wildspeaker for card draw created a significant advantage in board presence and resources.

  • 4

    The combination of Breena's ability to buff opponents and cast spells like Duelist's Heritage granted double strike to attackers, exponentially increasing damage output.

  • 5

    The pivotal moment was Dr Screw's creation of 50 flying Inkling tokens, overwhelming the table and securing the victory with swarm combat damage.

  • 6

    Daizu's attempts to build board presence with oozes and transforming creatures were outpaced by the token flood and combat tricks executed by Dr Screw.

Summary

The turning point came when Kel unleashed a massive 20/20 creature and started flooding the board with treasures, while Dr Screw transformed the game by creating 50 flying Inkling tokens thanks to Breena's abilities and combat tricks. Despite Daizu's attempts to build an answer with oozes and creatures, the overwhelming number of tokens and buffs from Dr Screw resulted in a decisive victory as those tokens swung through for lethal damage to all opponents. The game highlighted the power of token swarms combined with pillow fort defenses and combat synergies.
