Summary

The game features four new commanders from Modern Horizons 2, each bringing unique strategies to the table. General Ferrous Rokiric focuses on casting multicolored spells to generate golem tokens, aiming to build a strong Boros board presence. Grist, the Hunger Tide, a Golgari planeswalker commander, centers around insect tribal synergies and leveraging creature interactions. Yusri, Fortune's Flame employs a coin-flip mechanic to create chaotic and potentially powerful turns. Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp leads a modular artifact counters deck, aiming to grow creatures quickly through modular synergies. Early turns saw a conservative start with players deploying lands and mana rocks. One key moment was the handling of removal spells like Vandalblast, with players carefully choosing targets to maintain board presence and tempo. The interaction between Yusri's coin flips and Grist's insect tribal creatures was highlighted as a potential for explosive plays, especially with the possibility of drawing multiple cards and playing spells for free based on coin flip outcomes. Meanwhile, Zabaz's modular counters and General Ferrous's golem production provided steady pressure and board development throughout the game.
