Gameplay Insights

    The decision by the Aminatou player to wipe the board with Supreme Verdict was a pivotal moment in the game. This cleared the way for them to safely get their commander and other key pieces on the board.

  • 2

    The Aminatou player's decision to bounce Yoshimaru back to hand with Aminatou's +1 ability was a smart tactical move, preventing further commander damage and buying time to set up their win condition.

    The Aminatou player's use of Coveted Jewel was key in drawing into the cards they needed to set up a potential win with Jace and Deepglow Skate.

Summary

The game kicked off with a quick start from the Rograkh and Yoshimaru deck, which managed to get their commander pair online right from the first turn. Notably, the Aminatou player started off slower, focusing on ramping and controlling the board. The game took a major turn when the Aminatou player, after getting hit by Yoshimaru repeatedly, managed to wipe the board with a Supreme Verdict. This allowed them to safely get their commander on the board. They then played a coveted Jewel, which drew them into a Peregrine Drake. This led them to have enough mana to play and uptick Jace, setting up for a potential ultimate in the next turn with the help of a Deepglow Skate in hand. The game ended before we could see this plan come to fruition.

Description
