sisay vs dargo and Tymna vs Kodama and Sakashima vs Tevesh and Kraum cEDH gameplay

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Sisay, Weatherlight Captain

  Sisay's deck aims to ramp quickly with mana dorks and artifacts to cast powerful legendary creatures and use value engines like Dack Fayden and Crucible of Worlds to control the board and generate card advantage. Sisay looks to build incremental advantage and win through combat damage or combo finishes involving legendary synergies.

• 

  Dargo, the Shipwrecker

  Dargo's deck revolves around sacrificing creatures and artifacts to generate large amounts of mana and value. It leverages cards like Skirk Prospector, Burnt Offering, and Altar of Dementia to produce mana and mill opponents, combining with wheels and recursive combos to win through decking opponents or overwhelming board states.

• 

  Tymna the Weaver

  Tymna's strategy centers on aggressive creature-based disruption and card draw through combat damage. The deck uses low-cost creatures to generate incremental card advantage and pressure opponents, aiming to maintain tempo while assembling combos or finishing with commander damage.

• 

  Kodama of the East Tree & Sakashima of a Thousand Faces

  This paired deck focuses on creating a resilient and value-heavy board state using Kodama to bounce lands for repeated ramp and Sakashima to copy powerful creatures. The deck generates tokens and uses landfall triggers to gain incremental advantage and control the board, aiming for a grindy midrange strategy supported by combos.

• 

  Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools & Kraum, Ludevic's Opus

  This duo utilizes storm and wheel effects to generate advantage and combo off quickly. It uses artifacts and mana rocks to accelerate into Tevesh's ability and powerful draw spells, aiming to chain wheel effects and storm spells to take extra turns or deal massive damage in a single explosive turn.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Pontus's ability to generate excessive mana using Dargo and sacrifice outlets like Burnt Offering was pivotal in enabling his explosive combo turn.

• 2

  Sisay's decision to prioritize early mana ramp and incremental pressure with creatures like Ragavan helped maintain tempo but was not enough to disrupt Pontus's combo in time.

• 3

  The timing of counterspells and interaction, such as mental misstep and silence effects, was crucial but ultimately insufficient against Pontus's multi-step combo involving dredging and wheel effects.

• 4

  Giving a Wishclaw Talisman to the last player in turn order was debated as a strategic point, highlighting the importance of managing resources and threats based on board state and turn sequence.

• 5

  Pontus leveraging Altar of Dementia to mill opponents and wheel the table forced opponents to respond quickly and shaped the mid-to-late game tempo dramatically.

• 6

  The interplay of Kodama and Sakashima aimed to create resilience with land recursion and creature cloning but was overshadowed by the explosive combo plays in the game.
