Gameplay Summary

The game opened with each player establishing their board presence and early ramp, with Zedruu focusing on giving opponents permanents to disrupt their plans, and Galazeth Prismari aiming to ramp into big instants and sorceries.

Rielle capitalized on drawing and discarding to grow large and gain card advantage, while Breena manipulated combat to pit players against each other and grow her commander quickly.

Early plays included enchantments like Vow of Duty to control attacks and Propaganda to slow aggression.

A key moment came when Rielle leveraged multiple spell casts with Teach by Example and Goblin Lore to draw and discard heavily, triggering her commander’s ability to draw additional cards and grow stronger.

Meanwhile, Zedruu distributed curses and protective auras to manipulate combat and protect herself from attacks.
