Gameplay Summary
The game featured a three-player Commander match with Aminatou, Veil Piercer; Marina Vendrell; and The Swarmweaver, each piloting decks with distinct themes: curses, haunted rooms, and insects/spiders respectively.
Early turns saw the players developing their boards with lands and thematic creatures, such as The Swarmweaver's death touch spiders and Marina's eerie creatures associated with rooms and doors mechanics.
Aminatou's deck focused on enchantments and leveraging the Miracle mechanic, casting powerful cards like One with the Multiverse and Extravagant Replication to gain significant value by casting spells from the top of the library for free.
A key turning point was Aminatou's establishment of multiple enchantments on the battlefield, including Sphere of Safety, which heavily taxed attackers and helped control combat flow.
Aminatou also deployed potent tutors and removal effects, such as Demonic Tutor and removal from The Scarab God, to disrupt opponents.
Meanwhile, Marina advanced her haunted house strategy by unlocking doors to manifest creatures and generate board presence.
The Swarmweaver steadily built an army of spiders and insects, gaining death touch through delirium to apply pressure cautiously given the taxing Sphere of Safety.
Towards the midgame, Aminatou further accelerated her enchantment-based control and card advantage engines, casting Curses like Curse of Surveillance to pressure opponents and gain incremental advantages.
Marina continued unlocking haunted house doors, manifesting creatures and drawing value, while The Swarmweaver focused on creating tokens and maintaining board presence.
The game revolved around managing board states, taxing attacks, and generating value through enchantments and creatures, with Aminatou's control and value engine emerging as a major influence on game pace and combat decisions.
