Gameplay Summary

The game featured four highly tuned Commander decks, each with distinct strategies.

Early turns saw players developing their mana bases and deploying key commanders such as Gitrog Monster, Kraum, Ludevic's Opus, and Nymris, Oona's Trickster.

Gitrog aimed to leverage land-sacrifice synergies to draw cards and eventually assemble a combo involving Dakmor Salvage.

Nymris focused on control and card advantage, setting up a Thassa's Oracle win.

The Blue Farm deck piloted by Tymna and Kraum employed midrange tactics with a pivot to Ad Nauseam for a combo finish.

Omnath's player developed value engines and disruption while preparing infinite damage combos like Finale of Devastation plus Dockside Extortionist for the win. A pivotal turning point occurred when the Blue Farm player successfully cast Ad Nauseam, digging deep into their deck to assemble a winning hand.

They used Rain of Filth and Wishclaw Talisman to ramp into a massive Dockside Extortionist play, followed by Underworld Breach recursion and a carefully timed Silence lock to prevent interaction.

Despite attempts to disrupt, they resolved their combo, milling their library with Brain Freeze and casting Thassa's Oracle to clinch the game.

The interaction between control elements, resource denial, and combo sequences highlighted the high-level strategic depth of the match.
