Gameplay Summary

The game started with players opening sealed Innistrad Remastered Commander decks, each featuring different commanders and incorporating a few cards from Fallen Empires.

Early turns saw players establishing board presence with low-cost creatures and mana accelerants.

One player with Sorin of House Markov leveraged extort and a flood of small creatures to put pressure on opponents.

Thalia and The Gitrog Monster focused on land synergies, while other commanders like Six and Katilda and Lier developed unique strategies involving graveyard interactions and flashback spells. A key moment involved Sorin flipping to Sorin, Ravenous Neonate, increasing pressure with extort triggers and creating tokens.

The gameplay featured tactical combat decisions, including blocking and attacking commanders to apply Commander damage.

Players employed graveyard recursion and card draw mechanics, such as Hermit Druid's graveyard milling and Laboratory Maniac's win condition potential.

The game maintained a slow but strategic pace with board states evolving through creature tokens, clues, and incremental damage, highlighting the sealed format's jank and unique card interactions.
