Deck Strategies

  • Ayara, Widow of the Realm // Ayara, Furnace Queen

    Ayara, Widow of the Realm // Ayara, Furnace Queen

    This deck focuses on mono-black aristocrat strategies, reanimating creatures from the graveyard and using life as a resource. It also includes a splash of red for cards like Mayhem Devil.

  • Hakbal of the Surging Soul

    Hakbal of the Surging Soul

    This deck is a modified version of a Kuma deck, with a focus on taking advantage of Hakbal's ability to generate value. While the specifics aren't clear from the transcript, it likely involves a mix of aggressive creatures and synergistic cards.

  • General Tazri

    General Tazri

    The General Tazri deck is all about ally creatures. It aims to flood the board with allies and take advantage of their synergies to overwhelm opponents.

  • Agatha of the Vile Cauldron

    Agatha of the Vile Cauldron

    Agatha's deck is focused on playing a multitude of creatures and utilizing their activated abilities. Reducing the cost of these abilities by pumping up Agatha allows for powerful plays and unexpected interactions.

Gameplay Insights

  • 1

    The early game focused heavily on mana development and ramping, with each player trying to set up their board for later turns.

  • 2

    The use of another player's deck added a layer of unpredictability to the game, as players were not entirely familiar with the contents and strategies of their chosen decks.

  • 3

    Casting commanders early seemed to be a common strategy, potentially to maximize their impact on the game.

Summary

In this game of Commander Deck Roulette, each player was using a deck contributed by another player, making for a unique and unpredictable match. The game started out slowly with players building their mana bases and casting their commanders early in the game. Ayara, Widow of the Realm was the first commander to make an appearance, followed closely by Agatha of the Vile Cauldron. The mid-game saw a flurry of activity, with multiple creatures entering the battlefield and some key spells being cast. Unfortunately, the transcript cuts off before the game's conclusion.
