Deck & Commander Strategies

Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy
Ramp heavily with mana dorks and Devoted Druid to generate large amounts of mana, then use that mana to cast powerful spells and combos. Often aims to leverage mana acceleration for explosive turns.

Generate treasure tokens quickly using dwarves and artifacts to ramp into big threats or combos. Treasure tokens also help fuel artifact synergies and mana production.
Celes, Rune Knight
Deploy a suite of cheap one-drop creatures and utilize reanimation and disruption spells to maintain board presence and pressure opponents.

Gameplay Summary

The game featured four players piloting distinct commanders: Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy; Magda, Brazen Outlaw; Celes, Rune Knight; and Fire Lord Ozai.

Early turns saw the players establishing their boards with ramp and key creatures such as Birds of Paradise, Stitcher Supplier, and Universal Automaton.

Magda quickly set up a treasure generation engine, while Kinnan developed mana acceleration with tropical island and Devoted Druid.

Fire Lord Ozai's player used Animate Dead on early threats and leveraged the saga to create constructs, slowly building a board presence. A pivotal moment occurred when Kinnan's player used Angel's Grace to survive a lethal attack, maintaining pressure on opponents.

Meanwhile, Fire Lord Ozai's milling strategy with Stitcher Supplier synergized with Animate Dead, allowing for recurring threats and maintaining tempo.

The game featured back-and-forth combat and resource development, with Fire Lord Ozai capitalizing on the milling synergy and artifact constructs to contribute to the board state.

The interactions highlighted Fire Lord Ozai's potential in cEDH through resilient threats and artifact synergy, though the game ended before a definitive winner emerged.
