Hazezon Tamar vs Mimeoplasm vs Animar vs Neyali | Kingdoms & Friends E58 | Commander EDH Gameplay

Deck Strategies

• 

  Hazezon Tamar

  This deck aims to create numerous tokens through landfall triggers and other effects and then bolster their power to overwhelm opponents.

• 

  The Mimeoplasm

  This deck heavily relies on graveyard interaction, using cards like Hermit Druid to mill their own deck and fill the graveyard. The Mimeoplasm then copies powerful creatures in the graveyard to become a massive threat.

• 

  Animar, Soul of Elements

  Animar's strategy revolves around rapid creature deployment and building up Animar's power. The deck uses Animar's cost reduction ability to cast creatures for cheap and then use those creatures to control the board or attack.

• 

  Neyali, Suns' Vanguard

  The Neyali deck seems to be a token strategy, aiming to create a large number of tokens and then use those tokens to control the board or launch attacks.

Summary

The game kicked off with a quick start from the Animar, Soul of Elements, and The Mimeoplasm players. Animar was able to establish a strong board presence and began applying pressure to the other players. In contrast, The Mimeoplasm player used a risky strategy with the Hermit Druid, milling a large portion of their deck. This led to a significant event when the Animar player used Aether Mutation to remove the Hermit Druid, disrupting The Mimeoplasm's strategy. The Hazezon Tamar and Neyali, Suns' Vanguard players seemed to focus on building their own board states, but struggled to keep up with the rapid pace set by the other two players.
