We Paid Fiverr To Build Our Decks | Commander Clash S15 E24

Deck Strategies

• 

  Rakdos, Lord of Riots

  The deck seemed to focus on playing and crewing large vehicle cards, with Colossal Dreadmaw being a notable inclusion. The deck's mana base, however, proved to be a challenge.

• 

  Gwaihir the Windlord

  The deck was bird-themed, aiming to leverage bird synergies to gain an advantage. However, the effectiveness of this strategy was questionable due to the lack of synergy among the chosen cards.

• 

  Atogatog

  The deck strategy revolved around playing changelings, which could be sacrificed to Atogatog for a potential win condition. The deck suffered from mana issues, though, which slowed down its game plan.

• 

  Kellan, the Fae-Blooded // Birthright Boon

  The deck had an unusual strategy involving auras, and appeared to be aiming for a win condition with Barren Glory. The deck incorporated several lands with sacrifice effects to help set up this win condition.

Summary

The game began with each player revealing their unique decks, all of which were constructed by different Fiverr users. The players were forced to adapt to the unusual strategies and card choices of these third-party-built decks, leading to a game filled with unexpected plays. Two players, running Rakdos, Lord of Riots and Atogatog respectively, struggled with mana issues early on, hindering their progression. Despite the mana issues, the player running Atogatog managed to play some key changelings, allowing for potential win conditions later in the game. The player controlling Gwaihir the Windlord, despite having a bird-based deck, struggled with card synergy and effectiveness.
