Gameplay Summary
This Commander Clash game featured a unique twist where all players built decks exclusively of lands, with commanders that interact with lands in creative ways.

Key moments included the activation of Öza Saga's second chapter, which allowed the creation of artifact Construct tokens that grew stronger as more were made, showing a slow but powerful board development strategy.
Another player leveraged Ink-Moth Nexus, turning a land into a flying artifact creature to apply early pressure and commander damage, indicating an aggressive approach despite the land-only restriction. The game also saw strategic plays involving land destruction and disruption, such as Ghost Quarter effects, which challenged players to carefully manage their resources.
The Big Apple, 3 a.m.
commander produced rat tokens to widen the board, emphasizing a go-wide strategy.
Bossing Say demonstrated resilience with indestructible lands and pump effects, aiming to control the battlefield and outlast opponents.
The interplay between artifact lands, token generation, and proliferate effects created interesting synergies and tactical decisions, with players balancing aggression, board presence, and resource management in this unconventional land-only Commander format.
