Deck & Commander Strategies
Tymna the Weaver
Focused on incremental card draw through combat damage and efficient creature deployment, using tutors and recursion to maintain pressure and board presence.
Garth One-Eye
Leveraged graveyard recursion and token generation to control the board and create value, with an emphasis on disruptive elements and enchantment removal.
Korvold, Fae-Cursed King
Relied on sacrificing permanents for card draw and value, building a resilient board state through attrition and incremental advantage.
Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient
Ramp-heavy deck that generates vast amounts of mana through landfall and dragon synergies, aiming to finish the game with explosive combat steps and large damage spells.
Kamahl, Heart of Krosa
Pumps creatures and grants additional combat phases to maximize damage output, often paired with token generators and ramp to overwhelm opponents.

Gameplay Summary
The game began with a typical ramp and setup phase, where players established their mana bases and deployed early creatures like Birds of Paradise and Elvish Mystic.
Tymna's player focused on card draw and board presence through creatures like Elves of Deep Shadow and Fauna Shaman, using land tutors to find key pieces.
Kamahl and Tymna worked to build a resilient board with creatures and enchantments, but faced disruption from Dom's player, who utilized graveyard recursion and enchantment destruction while struggling with land drops. Miguel, playing Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient, focused on generating vast amounts of mana and leveraging dragons and landfall synergies.
The turning point came when Miguel deployed multiple powerful dragons and used Kamahl’s pump effects along with additional combat steps to swing heavily, generating massive mana and overwhelming opponents.
A combination of relentless assault and Finale of Devastation sealed the game, as Miguel’s mana advantage and aggressive attacks proved insurmountable.
Other players had moments of interaction and board control but ultimately could not keep pace with the explosive late-game mana and damage output from Klauth’s deck.
