Shaaaaaaaaaaaarks! Sythis vs Miirym vs Averna vs Brallin | Shabraz #edh #cmdr game play

Deck Strategies

• 

  Sythis, Harvest's Hand

  Focused on playing enchantments to trigger card draw and life gain from the commander. Unfortunately, a lack of green mana sources early in the game hindered the deck's performance.

• 

  Averna, the Chaos Bloom

  This deck aimed to benefit from land-focused strategies. However, the pace was slow, playing only one land per turn, which didn't drive the game plan forward as effectively.

• 

  Brallin, Skyshark Rider | Shabraz, the Skyshark

  This deck relied on bounce lands and wheel effects. Despite a slow start, it managed to trigger a significant chain reaction late in the game.

• 

  Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm

  With a turn one Soul Ring and the benefit of several wheel effects, this deck was able to ramp quickly and summon powerful dragons for decisive attacks.

Summary

In the initial stages of the game, players struggled to get their decks going. Chris, with his Sythis, Harvest's Hand deck was hindered by a lack of green mana sources. Shane, piloting the Brallin, Skyshark Rider, and Shabraz, the Skyshark combo, was stalled by an overreliance on bounce lands and a lack of early mana rocks. Meanwhile, the players of Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm and Averna, the Chaos Bloom decks benefited from turn one Soul Rings that propelled their game plans forward. As the game progressed, several wheel effects allowed the Miirym player to ramp up quickly. A pivotal moment occurred when Shane cast Time Spiral, which led to a massive chain reaction dealing nine damage to each creature. In the end, the Miirym player took the win after a series of powerful dragon summons and attacks.
