Summary

The game featured a chaotic multiplayer Commander match with four iconic commanders: Norin the Wary, Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge, Mogis, God of Slaughter, and Ruric Thar, the Unbowed. The players returned to their previously played decks for a revenge-themed game, aiming to prove their decks' worth after past shortcomings. Early turns were marked by typical ramp and setup, with Norin the Wary beginning to create chaos via repeated attacks and sacrifice loops, while Jeleva aimed to leverage her ability to cast powerful instants and sorceries at reduced costs. Mogis brought a unique no-creature black-red enchantment strategy, focusing on controlling the board and generating threats through enchantments and planeswalker synergy, and Ruric Thar sought to punish noncreature spells and aggressively swing with his large body.
