Decklists

Deck & Commander Strategies

Tymna the Weaver & Kraum, Ludevic's Opus
This deck aims to generate card advantage through combat damage and card draw engines like Mystic Remora and Kraum triggers, winning via Underworld Breach combos or Thassa's Oracle.
Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy
Focuses on ramping mana quickly and cheating large creatures onto the battlefield using Kinnan's ability to exploit mana acceleration, aiming to overwhelm opponents through big threats and combo finishers like Thassa's Oracle.
Kodama of the East Tree & Sakashima of a Thousand Faces
Seeks to create multiple Kodama triggers to enable combos and generate infinite or near-infinite value, using ramp and bounce effects to protect and reset key pieces.
Raggadragga, Goreguts Boss
Utilizes disruption of opponents' mana production and aggressive combat strategies, leveraging creatures that can untap and grow with Raggadragga's aura to deal lethal damage.

Gameplay Insights

1
Drake's use of Opposition Agent to exile Gilded Drake from Alex's library was a key disruption preventing Alex from accessing crucial combo pieces.
2
Alex's Hullbreaker Horror was used effectively to bounce opposing commanders and disrupt their tempo, but was later bounced itself by Dante's Psychic Pickpocket, showcasing interactive board control.
3
Jordan's Raggadragga enabled multiple creatures to untap and grow, resulting in a pivotal combat phase where Thorn Mammoth fought and killed Kinnan, removing a major threat.
4
The interaction involving Deflecting Swat, Force of Will, and a copy of Force of Will on the stack demonstrated high-level counterplay and resource management among the players.
5
Alex's early activation of Thassa's Oracle through Kinnan's ability signaled a potential combo win, though it was clarified that it was not an immediate win attempt, indicating careful sequencing and strategic deception.

Gameplay Summary

The game began with all four players ramping and developing their boards, setting the stage for powerful plays.

Drake, piloting the Tymna/Kraum deck, established early card advantage with Mystic Remora and quickly deployed value creatures like Opposition Agent and Ranger-Captain of Eos, leveraging Kraum's card draw triggers.

Alex, on Kinnan, ramped aggressively with mana accelerants such as Llanowar Elves and Carpet of Flowers, quickly casting Kinnan and cheating large creatures like Thassa's Oracle, Hullbreaker Horror, and Void Winnower onto the battlefield.

Dante, playing Kodama/Sakashima, focused on assembling a combo with multiple Kodama triggers while ramping with Ancient Tomb and Boseiju.
