Deck Strategies

  Garth One-Eye

  The deck is seemingly large, accommodating a Battle of Wits win condition. The deck needs to have 200 cards left in the library with Battle of Wits on the battlefield to win the game.

Summary

The game kicked off with each player explaining their decks and their unique strategies. All decks were rule zero decks, meaning they are not technically legal in the traditional Commander format. Each player had a distinct game plan, and the game proceeded with each player starting to set up their boards. Alex's Assemble the Legion deck started creating a steady stream of tokens, while the Riku Flash Hulk deck was setting up for a potential combo. The Ozolith deck was generating counters and artifacts, and the Garth One-Eye deck was just beginning to build up resources. The game was still in the early stages with each player setting up their strategies and no significant attacks or major plays had been made yet.
