Deck & Commander Strategies
Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought
Generate and sacrifice food tokens created by artifacts to deal damage to opponents, leveraging artifact synergy to maintain board presence and create incremental value through life gain and damage.
Infinite Guideline Station
Utilize proliferate mechanics to increase counters on artifacts and creatures, accelerating value engines and enabling powerful board development through artifact synergies and counter manipulation.
Ragost, Deft Gastronaut
Control the board through artifact interaction and sacrifice outlets, disrupting opponents’ setups while leveraging artifact synergies for incremental advantage.
Kilo, Apogee Mind
Exploit charge counters and proliferate triggers to grow commander and other permanents rapidly, combining aggressive combat and resource generation with artifacts that create food and treasure tokens for sustained pressure and value.

Gameplay Summary
The game began with all four players developing their boards with ramp and utility artifacts while setting up key synergies aligned with their commanders' strategies.
Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought focused on generating food tokens from artifacts to deal incremental damage and maintain board presence with his artifact-food synergy.
Infinite Guideline Station prioritized proliferate mechanics to escalate counters on artifacts and creatures, leveraging value engines like Surge Conductor and Contagion Clasp to accelerate their game plan.
Ragost, Deft Gastronaut aimed to control the board through artifact interaction and sacrifice outlets, while Kilo, Apogee Mind utilized charge counters and proliferate triggers to grow his commander and other permanents quickly, reinforcing his board state and preparing for a swift aggressive strike. Key turning points included a successful cascade of proliferate triggers from Infinite Guideline Station’s artifact interactions, which significantly increased counters on multiple artifacts, enhancing their utility and threat level.
Kilo’s aggressive proliferation and combat steps, combined with artifact-generated resources like food and treasures, enabled a powerful tempo surge that pressured opponents heavily.
Dawnsire’s repeated activation of food token mechanics inflicted consistent damage and maintained resilience against board wipes.
Ragost’s use of sacrifice effects and artifact removal threatened to disrupt opponents' setups but struggled against the rapid mana and counter growth from the other decks.
The game tilted decisively when Kilo leveraged multiple treasures and food tokens alongside his commander’s proliferate ability to escalate counters and generate a threatening board, while Dawnsire and Infinite Guideline Station maintained incremental pressure through damage and value engines.
Ultimately, the game revolved around managing proliferate synergies and artifact interactions to outpace opponents and secure the win through overwhelming board presence and incremental damage.
