Deck & Commander Strategies

Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student // Tamiyo, Seasoned Scholar
Focus on quickly flipping Tamiyo to her Seasoned Scholar side through card draw and ramp, then leveraging her abilities to control the game and generate card advantage for a late-game win.

Norman Osborn // Green Goblin
Utilize artifact ramp, discard synergies, and Ad Nauseam to draw deeply into the deck and assemble a lethal combo involving recursive spells and mana untap effects for a fast kill.

Leonardo, the Balance
Maintain board balance and control by managing resources carefully, aiming to disrupt opponents and stabilize the board until a winning window appears.

Splinter, the Mentor
Use mana untap abilities to generate infinite or near-infinite mana combos, enabling repeated spell casts and combo triggers to close out the game efficiently.

Sisay, Weatherlight Captain
Leverage legendary creature synergy to tutor and deploy powerful creatures and combo pieces, aiming for a mid-to-late game combo finish.

Gameplay Summary
The game featured an intense cEDH multiplayer match with four players piloting powerful commanders.
Early turns focused on developing mana bases and setting up key pieces, with some players aiming to flip Tamiyo to her Seasoned Scholar side quickly for card advantage, while others established artifact and mana acceleration to execute combos.
Norman Osborn's player utilized discard synergies and artifact ramp, including casting Ad Nauseam to refill their hand and set up a lethal sequence.
Splinter and Leonardo’s players developed mana and board presence, with Splinter enabling repeated mana untaps and Leonardo aiming for balance and control.
A critical turning point came when Norman Osborn resolved Ad Nauseam and started assembling a win combo involving Valley Floodcaller and Underworld Breach, leveraging Splinter’s untap triggers and a sequence of spells to generate lethal damage or infinite mana.
The game ended shortly after as the combo player capitalized on their setup, showcasing the high-speed, intricate interactions typical of cEDH gameplay.
