Akiri & Thrasios, Korvold, Nekusar, Teshar - #cEDH Gameplay Ep 36

Deck & Commander Strategies

• Akiri & Thrasios

  Ramp and card selection to assemble Jeskai Ascendancy combos, leveraging dorks and spells to generate infinite mana and draw cards for a combo finish.

• 

  Korvold, Fae-Cursed King

  Sacrifice synergy with ramp creatures and powerful payoffs like Dockside Extortionist to draw cards and overwhelm opponents quickly.

• 

  Nekusar, the Mindrazer

  Utilize wheels and forced discards to generate advantage and disrupt opponents, aiming to control the game while dealing incremental damage.

• 

  Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle

  Artifact-based recursion and combo loops involving sac outlets and zero-cost artifacts to generate infinite mana and win by pinging opponents.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Baal's infinite mana combo loop with Arcbound Ravager and Workshop Assistant was the game's turning point, enabling a lethal Walking Ballista kill.

• 2

  The use of Swords to Plowshares on Teshar disrupted Baal's combo timing but was ultimately insufficient without further interaction.

• 3

  David's timely Chain of Vapor on Concordant Crossroads prevented an immediate lethal attack from Baal’s infinite creatures, buying the table some breathing room.

• 4

  Luis's Praetor’s Grasp to find Dockside Extortionist set up a powerful draw engine for Korvold but was outpaced by Baal's artifact combo.

• 5

  Despite multiple players setting up strong early boards and combos, Baal's ability to assemble and execute his artifact recursion loop swiftly ended the game.
