Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Nadu's use of Coastal Breach to bounce all nonland permanents was a strong board reset attempt but was mitigated by timely bounce responses like Chain of Vapor, maintaining board presence.

• 2

  Najeela’s steady stream of warrior tokens combined with multiple combat phases allowed significant damage output and forced opponents into difficult blocking decisions.

• 3

  Yuriko’s ninjas, while fragile, were effectively used to chip away at life totals and trigger damage-based abilities that kept pressure on the table.

• 4

  Players carefully managed blockers to reduce damage from large attacks, highlighting the importance of timing and resource conservation in multiplayer commander combat.
