Summary

This game started explosively with all players ramping quickly and setting up their boards. Notable plays came from Omnath, Locus of the Roil commander who, after a series of ramp spells, managed to deal damage equal to the number of Elementals controlled, targeting and eliminating key creatures from the opponents. Lord Windgrace, on the other hand, played Nylea's Intervention to fetch Urza's Mine, Urza's Tower, and Urza's Workshop, setting up the infamous 'Tron' lands and hinting at a powerful follow-up. As the game progressed, other players continued to build their boards and enhance their strategies, with Old Gnawbone establishing an all-artifact deck, while Indoraptor, the Perfect Hybrid, prepared to load up the 'dino cannon'.

Description

MtG meme master @maldhound joins Jim, Eilidh and Olivia this week for an explosive commander featuring Omnath, Lord Windgrace, Indoraptor and Old Gnawbone. Can Maldhound live up to his lofty aspirations? Or will Jim exploit Olivia’s hatred of Green Artifact Commander decks and Old Gnawbone fast enough?
