Gameplay Summary

The game started with each player establishing their mana base and early board presence.

Kambal focused on an aristocrat strategy, producing creatures and sacrificing them for value, while Prosper generated treasure tokens and card advantage through artifact sacrifice.

Myrkul aimed to transform creatures into enchantments to create resilient threats, and Light-Paws sought to voltron up for commander damage.

Early on, Justify (Light-Paws) disrupted artifact-based strategies with cards like Cursed Totem and Stony Silence, locking down key abilities and slowing down opponents. Myrkul's player built a strong board with cards like Grim Haruspex and Cruel Celebrant, leveraging sacrifice outlets such as Birthing Pod to tutor for powerful creatures like Elesh Norn and Avacyn, Angel of Hope, gaining board control and making permanents indestructible.

After eliminating Justify, Myrkul capitalized on the reduced opposition.

Despite Prosper's explosive treasure generation with Dockside Extortionist, Myrkul's Platinum Angel provided crucial protection.

The game culminated when Myrkul assembled a combo by transforming Devoted Druid into an enchantment, generating infinite mana, and using Slimefoot, the Stowaway to drain all opponents, securing the win.
