Summary

The game featured a dynamic four-player Commander match with Stitcher Geralf, Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer, Zur the Enchanter, and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice. Early turns involved ramp and setup, with players casting utility creatures and enchantments to establish board presence. Key interactions included Max's use of Treasure Map for card advantage and repeated casting of Faerie Artisan to generate token copies, which led to escalating board states. Nick’s Kozilek was a major threat but was effectively countered by Max’s spell-swindle and other responses. Meanwhile, Martin leveraged cards like New Perspectives and Propaganda to draw cards and protect his commander. Brudiclad’s ability to create token copies of tokens played a pivotal role, especially when Max used Cackling Counterpart and Beast Within to maintain board control despite opponents’ responses. Restoration Angel’s flicker on Regal Force was another highlight, generating significant card draw and life gain for its controller. The game also saw creature and token combat exchanges that pressured players' life totals and forced strategic sacrifices, such as Fleshbag Marauder and Conduit of Ruin interactions. Overall, the game revolved around incremental board development, resource generation, and tactical removal until Brudiclad’s token synergy and artifact ramp created a dominant board state. The win condition likely centered on overwhelming opponents with token swarms and artifact synergies.
